Queens Airbnb Hosts can Provide Self Check-in with Keycafe

Queens is home to over two million residents, and its location right by the Bronx, Brooklyn, and Manhattan Island makes it a highly visited area in New York for Airbnb hosts and vacation rental operators. With Keycafe available in over 20 locations across the borough, Queens’ property managers can store and exchange their keys with visiting guests from anywhere. 

Keycafe Automates Key Exchange in Queens

Key exchange and guest check-ins have often been an inconvenient step during an Airbnb stay for both hosts and guests. Airbnb hosts and vacation rental managers have to wait for guests to arrive to hand over keys and check them in, and travel delays for guest arrivals would often force hosts to waste even more time waiting in their vacation rental property. Similarly, after a long journey guests often simply want to check-in on their own and collapse on their bed, rather than go through the formalities of meeting their host and receiving the property’s keys. 

By providing an automated method for hosts and guests to exchange keys, Keycafe enables hosts to be more efficient with their time while providing a seamless self check-in experience for guests. Hosts can drop off and store their keys in various Keycafe partner locations around Queens before providing guests with access through their email or phone number to pick them up. At the end of their stay, guests drop off the keys back to the original pickup location, or any other Keycafe location the host wishes.

Hosts can directly integrate Keycafe with their Airbnb listing, so guests automatically receive access to pick up keys on the dates of their booking as soon as they’ve confirmed. By automating key exchange, property managers and Airbnb hosts can spend their time more efficiently, while still having complete control of their property access. Hosts can see a full history of their key’s pickups and drop-offs, and can enable features like photo ID verification to ensure the right guest is picking up keys.
