6 things an Airbnb studio should have for travelers working remotely

There are more travelers today who work remotely than ever before. Travelling is a tiresome activity in itself. If you are a remote worker, all you need after a long day of travel is an Airbnb studio that you can comfortably and conveniently work in.

Finding the best Airbnb that is perfect for travelers to work in is not an easy task, but you can always expect certain standards just by looking through reviews, amenities provided and the pictures of the listed property. Generally, exceptional properties look well polished and serviced. This will be a valid indication of a place you can rely on.  I will mention 6 of the most crucial amenities and features you should look for, that will make it convenient for working travelers. 

What makes An Airbnb studio apartment suitable for remote work? 

Strong Wi-Fi Connection in the Airbnb studio

One of the reasons remote work is possible is the availability of Wi-Fi in almost any place in the world. This is a basic amenity which should not only be available, but should be strong and steady for guests. However, more often, you will end up in accommodations that do have Wi-Fi, but it is slow and loses signal over and over. 

To avoid this before you arrive, it’s better to inquire beforehand on the kind of connectivity available. This is just to be prepared and make it easy to get a refund from your host if that will not be the case. At Hidden Gem Homes, we know this and work with the best internet provider to ensure you have the best experience while working remotely at any of our 4 Airbnb studio apartments.

Laptop friendly working space for working remotely

Since most, or all of your work is done on a laptop, always ensure the accommodation offers a spacious, well lit and comfortable working space. It should at least include a desk and a chair. Sockets near the desk to connect your chargers at are also important.

Quiet environment

While working, peace and quiet is everything. It might be a challenge to find a quiet place especially if you are travelling to big cities, but here is a catch; find accommodation in up-town areas near the town center. These places are more quiet.  They will offer you the best possible working experience. 

One thing I always look out for is the surrounding neighborhood. I make sure to research and know what kind of activities or buildings are nearby. I will then judge if the area is a good fit to work in.

Fully equipped kitchen

Travelers choose to stay at a b&b instead of a hotel because of certain privileges. One of them is having a kitchen to prepare meals in. Nevertheless some kitchens are not fully equipped. This is essential, not only for nomad travelers who work on the road, but for any visitor. Ask the hosts about this to be certain that your work time during your stay is as smooth as possible.

No clutter

Again, Your work depends on how well you can be productive. A clumsily made space, or one full of pictures, memorabilia or any form of decoration might be a turnoff. It will slow your productivity. Go for accommodation with a lot of free space to place your things and to work around.  By looking at the pictures provided by hosts, You can easily tell a place is easy to work in.

Lots of storage space

It does not come as a surprise that many properties you travel to lack enough storage for items, especially your clothes. To make sure you are organized and productive during your stay, enough storage is key. Choose places with, say, a spacious wardrobe, drawers and shelves. This is especially if you will be staying longer.

Extra tips

Don’t want to be caught by surprise when travelling as you work? asking the hosts questions you feel you need assurance on will come in handy. Also, let them know you are working remotely. They are more likely to make the stay more convenient if they know this, just in case their property is missing some crucial amenities. 

All in all, it’s always a good idea to travel with backup gadgets to be on the safe side. Including your own internet arrangements, so that even if something happens, for instance, the Wi-Fi connection fails because of heavy rain, you can still work.
