While traveling, we need someone to be your eyes on the ground, to help guests, clean the property, or reset the router after a storm. We have been blessed to find amazing cleaner\/managers that have really helped us when we are overseas (Kimberly and Annie, shout out to yall!). We have been 6 hours ahead and 6 hours behind Eastern Time so having someone to communicate when you are sleeping is a must. It’s also good to find a “jack of all trades” person that you can pay hourly as well for any small fixes in plumbing or other fixtures. Its best to stay away from separate trade companies unless the issue needs more expertise.<\/p>\n
We were in remote Jaen, Spain, and didn’t realize the Airbnb’s didn’t have wifi. It was great for disconnecting but not for staying connected to the businesses. Without Wifi it is difficult to stay connected to clients and answer quickly on our Airbnbs (a must to be a great host). Of course with web design I absolutely need fast internet. I work mostly with wordpress and webflow and both are 100% online platforms. The majority of my business will stop without internet. I suspect nowadays any business needs a bit of internet to manage their business.<\/p>\n
