Because of a challenging guest in our home, we're adding this note: "Note: This home is a private residential property and is not equipped or certified as a medical, clinical, or specialized hypoallergenic facility."

I just saw this Airbnb advertisement for what seems similar to what I’ve heard other hosts call Properly (I think that is the name). If you have used this kind of insurance before, how does this compare? Ignore the dollar amount as I know $4600 for a month is small potatoes compared to what many of you other hosts get — that is a great amount compared to what I historically get. 😂

Just got somebody relocating into the area for 36 nights! PTL! My Airbnb property title is “Feels Like Home | 3BR+Office | Fenced Yard, EV”. Guests love that “feel!” What titles have been most successful for y’all? I’m about to upgrade the office to be a fourth bedroom so demand will increase even more! What else will go right this year? 🎉😃🎊🐴

Need some advice, VH Community! First, I hate that I’ve been missing calls and will miss tonight, but my mother-in-law has been ill and passed on Friday. Been pretty tough, but “pressing on toward the mark.” 🙏🏻 We have an MTR that has received almost exclusively 5-star reviews for years. A recent guest left a lower Location rating because, toward the end of her stay, she said she witnessed a serious incident next door involving alleged child abuse and a gunshot. She said she called 911 and Durham Police responded with two officers and a K-9 unit. She never mentioned any of this during her stay, despite us checking in multiple times and asking what we could do to earn a 5-star review. After I followed up, she explained this was the reason for the rating and even asked, “Can I change it?” I’m following up with Durham PD. Would you contact Airbnb to request removal or modification of the review? Has anyone had success when a review was based on an isolated incident at a neighboring property rather than the listing itself?

Do y’all ask your renters if they want to extend a certain number of days before their lease expiration date? I’m thinking of setting up an automated message that asks them if they are planning to renew and curious what is the best practice?
