The answer
Check the previous stay, cleaning schedule, property readiness, and the applicable booking terms. Give a clear answer based on what you can deliver. Do not promise early access before the home is verified ready.
If the decision is pending, explain when you can confirm it. A consistent procedure helps cleaners and guests understand expectations without turning every request into an improvised negotiation.
This answer is general education. Apply it to the property's actual location, agreements, and circumstances. Where a decision requires professional advice, use a qualified adviser.
