How to prepare your home for a JGo swap
At JGo, we believe your home is your greatest asset. Here's how to make it shine for your first swap.
1. Declutter and personalise Remove the clutter but keep the character. JGo members don't want a sterile hotel — they want a home with soul. Keep your books, your art, your favourite throw. That's what makes it special.
2. Write your home story Every JGo home has a story. What makes yours unique? The morning light in the kitchen? The rooftop view? The neighbourhood café around the corner? Tell your guests where to go and what to do like a local.
3. Prepare a welcome guide Leave a simple guide with:
- Your favourite local restaurants and bars
- The best coffee shop in the neighbourhood
- Hidden gems only locals know about
- Practical information — bins, parking, WiFi
4. Stock the basics Fresh towels, clean sheets, coffee, tea and a bottle of something local. Small gestures make extraordinary first impressions.
5. Photography matters Great photos attract great swaps. Natural light, tidy spaces, highlight what makes your home special.
Your home is someone's dream destination. Treat it that way.
