Job Description
Description About Lodgeur Lodgeur provides stylish, furnished apartments for short- and medium-term stays. We operate in the United States, where most apartments are rented completely unfurnished and require a 12-month lease-even for people who only need housing for a few weeks or months.
Our apartments come fully furnished and ready to live in, with kitchens, fast Wi-Fi, comfortable beds, and professional housekeeping. Guests can book a Lodgeur apartment just like they would a hotel-online, in minutes, with instant confirmation. It's as easy to book as a hotel, but with the comfort of a home-and unlike most Airbnb listings, Lodgeur is professionally operated and consistently reliable.
We serve business travelers, medical patients, relocating families, and others who need a temporary home. Since 2019, we've hosted 12,500+ guests and earned 2,000+ five-star reviews. We're doubling in size this year and growing our team to support that growth.
The Role As an independent contractor Housekeeper, you'll prepare Lodgeur apartments for new guests and keep them looking their best during longer stays. You'll clean, restock, and style each unit to meet Lodgeur's housekeeping standards, using our mobile app (Breezeway) to view tasks, follow photo guides, and upload completion photos.
You'll be responsible for delivering the final result-a spotless, photo-ready apartment that earns five-star guest reviews.
Key Responsibilities Apartment Cleaning & Setup
- Clean and prepare furnished apartments after each guest's stay ("standard departure cleans").
- Change linens and towels (Lodgeur's laundry is handled offsite).
- Restock amenities and supplies according to Lodgeur's checklists and photos in the app.
- Follow styling guidelines to ensure each apartment looks guest-ready.
- Take and upload before-and-after photos in the Breezeway app.
- Ensure keys are returned to their correct location for the next guest.
Types of Turnovers
- Standard Turnover: Clean and prepare the apartment after a guest's departure.
- Mid-Stay Cleaning: Refresh an apartment while a guest is staying, including changing linens and light cleaning.
- Deep Clean: A more detailed cleaning performed periodically-cleaning behind furniture and appliances, washing baseboards, and ensuring every detail is spotless.
- New Unit Setup: Help prepare new apartments by unboxing and organizing homewares (not furniture), arranging them neatly, and completing an initial clean before the first guest arrives.
Reporting & Communication
- Report missing items, damages, or maintenance issues immediately.
- Log any lost-and-found items according to Lodgeur's policy.
- Complete any reasonable touch-ups if notified within 24 hours of completion.
