This week’s question comes from Valerie, who’s looking to add a hotel-style safe to her short-term rental so guests can program their own code and feel secure during their stay. It sounds simple—but there’s more to consider than you might think!

We’re diving into:

The pros of offering a programmable safe (especially in shared spaces or high-trust luxury listings)
What you need to know before installing one
Team and guest communication
Cleaning and turnover protocols
What to do if a guest forgets the code or leaves items behind

Plus, we’re linking Valerie—and you! —to a safe we found on Amazon that’s highly rated and affordable.
