Preparation Time for my STR

[Denis Ponder]

For the first month, we are/have booked 19 days in our STR. I'm very pumped about that, good start.

My question is regarding preparation time. Our studio is 400-500 sq ft, so it's not massive or difficult to clean. I can turn it myself in an hour or less. I currently have 1 day preparation time but I am contemplating removing that restriction to open up the calendar even more. I would establish an 11am check out and a 4 pm check in. That would ensure that I will be able to come home at lunch and turn the unit to have it ready for the next guest. I work less than 10 mins from my house and this STR so it shouldn't be a serious challenge. I currently grab all the dirty linens, towels, bath mats, etc, along with the trash, and take care of that during my lunch break prior to sitting down and eating.

Is this a bad idea?  Or is this something worth trying to see how I like it?  I can always turn the 1 day prep time back on if it's too much.

Thoughts?  Ideas?

Given the size of your unit it is very easy to do a same day turnover.
