How?
Our project is helping environmental sustainability in the way that we use eco-friendly cleaning materials to reduce chemical products.
We implemented new recycling activities to help our guests to behave more sustainable, learn the process and take it back home with them for future use. This way we can also give access to knowledge about sustainability to our guests. Careful waste separation can be reached by correct signs and instructions regarding which bins need to be used with a particular type of garbage.
We changed the lights to a LED system and put water filters on our taps and showers to reduce water and energy consumption. As there is high-quality drinking water running from the taps, with giving this information to our guests, we can also reduce the number of plastic bottles used when buying drinkable water.
We are planning to use recycled furnishing materials, like carpets, curtains and to use reusable towels and linens.
We advise our guests to use public transportation, bikes, or e-bikes in the city centre. For that purpose, we are introducing local transport companies on our side and in the apartment as well. Further we fully digitalized our accommodation booking and check-in process, in which way we created a totally paperless booking experience.
With the implementation of a noise filter, we could ensure that our guests will not disturb the local resident’s life balance, so we can avoid continued problems due to noise activities.
What can you do as a guest?
Finding the right balance in economic, social, and environmentally sustainable issues can and will also improve tourists’ experiences and this process must start with the offered accommodations, like short-term rentals when it comes to big cities and urban tourism in general.
