The ten-point check - Smell — stand at the front door and breathe in. Neutral and fresh? No chemical overhang? - Bathroom hair — check the shower drain, floor corners, sink and behind the toilet - Linen — pull back the duvet, check the fitted sheet for stains, and sniff the pillowcases - Lock — enter the guest's access code from outside and confirm it works - Lights — flip every switch in every room and replace any dead bulbs - Wi-Fi — connect using the guest password and confirm it works - Supplies — toilet paper (at least four rolls per bathroom), soap, shampoo, coffee and bin bags - Previous-guest items — check under the bed, in drawers, on closet shelves and behind the bathroom door - Kitchen — fridge empty and clean, microwave clean, coffee station stocked - Photos — take a timestamped photo of each room and store it as arrival evidence
