The bed should be made up with freshly laundered, co-coordinating bed-linen at the beginning of each stay, or once per week depending on the duration of the stay.

The mattress should be Adult-sized, and good quality. There should be a duvet (correct tog for the season please) and at least two pillows.

• TV, Freeview or Sky.

• Curtains must give adequate darkness, especially near street lighting.
• Access to an immaculately clean bathroom or shower.
• Storage, and a desk.
• Light and airy decor.
• A cupboard in the kitchen, and a shelf in the fridge.
