Storage beds that lock give Airbnb hosts peace of mind.

Especially if you’re renting out your London flat or property but only for a few months or weeks at a time. Airbnb property investors don’t have the same concerns as owners who are renting out somewhere they live because you’ve got your precious possessions and special memories to safeguard.

Although most guests wouldn’t dream to go snooping around other people’s things, there’s always the risk that someone will. Or worse, someone will steal something and run when staying in your home or London flat.

So, what’s the answer?

Get a storage bed that locks. Keep your possessions safe, have peace of mind whenever guests stay, knowing that anything that’s special is kept safely under the bed (guests won’t be able to tell it’s a storage bed), and you’ve got the key.

For extra security, Furl can also deliver and build a storage bed that comes with a built-in safe, so for anything that you can’t carry with you but needs to be locked away, it’s another layer of security between your possessions and curious guests.

Why a storage beds that lock is a must-have when renting on Airbnb?

Whether you’re an experienced Airbnb host or you’re just starting out, you’ve probably heard nightmare stories of guests who trash properties, have wild parties, and even steal.

It’s one of the reasons Airbnb offers insurance to hosts, and lots of insurance companies now offer Airbnb insurance policies.

The problem is, in the rare event that a guest steals something, what are the chances of getting it back? If it’s something easily replaceable, like a wine glass, then it’s a nuisance.

But what if it’s a piece of jewelry or something with enormous sentimental value that you can’t simply replace at your nearest Waitrose?

Insurance can’t replace memories. And for numerous reasons, you might keep certain items in a property you’re renting on Airbnb, especially if it’s your home, but you work away part of the time. Then it makes sense to rent on Airbnb so it’s covering costs rather than sitting empty.

The best way to safeguard your possessions is to invest in a storage bed that locks. Keep everything you need under the bed, then lock it when you go away and have guests stay.

It serves a dual purpose, especially if you’re looking to make your Airbnb rental more inviting and comfortable for your guests (happier guests leave better reviews, and that leads to more guests staying) then a storage bed is an excellent investment.
