Questions about getting the guest room ready

When should I start?

About one week out. The room checks come first: washed sheets, an extra blanket, a cleared drawer and a phone charger.

Should Wi-Fi passwords or door codes go on the house-notes card?

No. Keep those off anything printed and share them in person.

Does it cover meals for the visit?

Yes. Page 2 has a visit plan with breakfast, plans, dinner and who cooks for each day.
