How should I label the rooms?
Last updated January 19, 2023
PadSplit places a strong emphasis on convenience and efficiency for both Members and Hosts. It is important to keep in mind that Members are not permitted to visit the home before move-in. It is important to make the process of locating their room as smooth as possible. Here’s how Hosts can make that happen:
Floor Plan: Organize the property with a proper floor plan. Having a clear, numbered floor plan makes it easier to list and organize. Many photographers can provide this service very inexpensively while taking photographs and several smartphone apps also do a decent job. When it comes time to list your property, having an accurate floor plan makes correctly assigning photos to rooms a much smoother process.
Room Labeling: Label rooms clearly with a color that contrasts with the color of the door. It is easy to overthink this step and introduce “themes” or alternative schemes such as using colors, or traits, to label rooms. However, numbers are much easier to grasp for both Members and Hosts.
Move-in: Rehearse your own “move-in”. Drive up to the property and think about where you’d think to park if it were your first time. Think about how you would enter the main door and find your room. Try the code or the key to access the room. Remove any kinks in the process and make it as convenient as possible for Members.
