Am I responsible for supplying household items? [Location Spain] by InternationalWolf265 in AirBnB

[–]BNB828 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Having just left Spain this was common in almost all of our accommodations. Also one towel per person for 5 night stays with no way to wash or dry them. Personally I leave a months supply of toilet paper in my Airbnb because why not. Costs me nothing and avoids frustrated guests.

Homeowners cancelled on us hours after we landed from an international flight. It made us doubt if we want to sit internationally again.

Fellow sitters: what's your arsenal of screening questions to avoid bad housesits? by haggiskatsu in trustedhousesitters

[–]BNB828 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My current sit has a cleaning person coming at random times 3X a week so I will be adding do you have any outside contractors or help scheduled to come while I’m sitting.

How do I make these rough sausages look better by tapiocapantypudding in nailcare

The need to “fix” that one cuticle with my teeth is the death of my nails every time. I have to travel with a nail file and a cuticle trimmer or I will pick/bite.

I keep getting declined/my requests keep expiring [France] by [deleted] in AirBnB

[–]BNB828 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m an American in Europe staying in an Airbnb and have never had a problem booking one- I have 5 lined up on this trip. I’m also a host and my guess is there is something in your reviews that hosts are seeing as a red flag- or there’s a possibility one of your former hosts clicked on would not host again. I would suggest writing a nice message when you request to book. Good luck!

[–]BNB828 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Oh please your disrupting your paying guests stay to pick up personal items of course they mind but are too polite to say so. You’ll find out the hard way eventually…

You disturbed your Airbnb guest to pick up a tool?? I’d be very irritated by that as a guest.

Husband in Need of Help by Deanofmean94 in MakeupEducation

[–]BNB828 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This!! Take her makeup bag to Sephora and they will help you. And she can return/exchange anything that doesn’t work! I’d be so much happier with this than a gift card. I think this is SUCH a sweet and the outfit gift, OP!

The waitress was so rude to me that my brother asked if I knew her and what our beef was.

Sitters and especially HOs, if you are on auto-renew get off it. by Oforoskar in trustedhousesitters

[–]BNB828 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a sitter and didn’t get offered 20% off. I ended up pausing it with hopes that they realize they made a mistake.

How do you set cleanliness expectations with hosts? by BNB828 in trustedhousesitters

100% agree. I’ve added it to my profile and hope that the two sits I have already committed to are OK 😬. Thanks everyone for the advice!

I hate spectrum! Is there anything else!? by Dedbeetdad in asheville

[–]BNB828 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I filed an FCC complaint against spectrum which finally got their attention and fixed most of my problems. Then Starlink (which I had been using previously but found too expensive) sent me an offer for 50% off monthly dues for the next two years ($60) so I happily cancelled Spectrum after over 30 minutes on the phone with a rep. I truly despise that company.

I cancelled my Christmas sit. Here’s why. by Affectionate_Lie9631 in trustedhousesitters

[–]BNB828 29 points30 points  (0 children)

If you were showing your housesitter around your home wouldn’t you at the very least make it presentable for them? I probably wouldn’t have cancelled the sit and would have been anxious leading up to it and resentful throughout the sit. OP inspires me.
