Key handover: MyLoby makes Airbnb key exchange easy!
Tired of the hassle of handing over keys and wish it were simpler? Discover MyLoby.
Managing an Airbnb rental is a job in itself! While some people call on property management companies to list and look after their property, most Airbnb owners manage their own properties themselves. And beyond looking after the property, one of the most tedious tasks in running an Airbnb is the key handover. We wanted to look at this together in this article and explain how MyLoby is transforming key management for Airbnb owners!
Key management in Airbnb rentals: a nightmare for owners! If there is one thing many Airbnb owners find a chore to deal with day to day, it is the question of the key handover. Whether at the guests' check-in or on their departure, handing over the keys often requires the owner to be present to hand over and then take back the set of keys. Yet when something comes up, some owners have to improvise and find ways of passing on their keys. That is how some Airbnb owners end up hiding their sets of keys under the doormat or a flowerpot, putting their property at risk.
Luckily for them, companies such as MyLoby are there to help!
MyLoby, an innovative start-up that simplifies key management! MyLoby really is a game changer in the Airbnb holiday rental market. Built around a mobile app and a network of collection points across France, MyLoby means owners no longer have to travel to the property to hand over the keys to their Airbnb guests. How? Thanks to an innovative key custody system, and here is how it works from start to finish. Step 1: download the MyLoby app
As an owner, you download the MyLoby app and take out a subscription to the service.
Step 2: find the collection point closest to your Airbnb rental
So that your Airbnb guests do not have to go far to find your keys, you look for the collection point closest to your property. All you then have to do is drop off your spare set of keys at that collection point and let your guests know they need to download the MyLoby app to pick up your spare keys from that same collection point.
Step 3: share the QR code linked to your set of keys with your Airbnb guests
They can then verify their identity at the collection point and pick up your set of keys. This verified collection triggers a notification to the owner, who then knows their set of keys has indeed been picked up by their guests. Note that a MyLoby collection point is not an ordinary parcel shop: the shopkeeper takes the time to welcome your guests and offer advice throughout their stay. So it is a complete key handover service!
How much does the MyLoby service cost? Convinced that MyLoby can simplify your key handover? The MyLoby service is available to Airbnb owners from 3 € per month per set of keys. However, if you are likely to welcome a lot of Airbnb guests each month, you can opt for the MyLoby premium plan at 20 € per month per set of keys, with an unlimited number of guests and key collections. So it is ideal for large-scale Airbnb managers, but also for large families short of key sets, or if you hire a home cleaning company to look after your flat or your Airbnb rental.
Either way, we warmly recommend the MyLoby service. It really is ideal for simplifying key management and handover. And on top of that, it saves you precious time, time you can devote to other things, while staying informed in real time when your keys are dropped off at or collected from your MyLoby collection point.
