Creative Bedroom Storage Options for Your Vacation Rental

Welcome back to the Hosting Hotline! This is an Ask Me Anything where each week we’ll answer your questions on Airbnb, STRs, real estate, and everything in between.

Katie asks:

We’re about to start our first short-term rental. My question right now is… How important is it to have drawers in the bedrooms? I currently don’t have drawers. I don’t really want to add them because I like the look and the space that not having them provides. There are big closets in both bedrooms where I have installed luggage racks and shelves. Do you think that having drawers is an absolute must?
