When you express interest in listing with Veeve, we’ll assess your home’s location and suitability before scheduling a visit. During the visit, we’ll evaluate your home from a guest’s perspective to ensure it meets these key criteria:
General
- Condition: Your home should be in good shape—walls, floors, and furnishings should be free of damage.
- Appliances: All should be fully functional, clean, and safe.
- Whole Home: We only list entire homes, not individual rooms.
- Guest-friendly: Your home should feel welcoming with enough space for guests to store their belongings.
- No Smoking: Homes with regular indoor smoking can't be listed.
- Pets: Let us know if you have a pet; we can list your home with an air purifier if needed.
Appliances, Furniture & Amenities
- Wi-Fi: Fast internet is essential.
- Smart TV: A must-have for entertainment.
- Extras: Games or entertainment options (ping-pong table, home cinema, etc.) are appreciated but not required.
- Kitchen: Must include a cooker, oven, hob, and grill. A microwave and coffee machine are great bonuses.
