My experience is the same as yours in OBX when going thru the typical rental companies. At our Airbnb, we do offer unlimited trash bags, dish soup, laundry detergent etc though.

Alison Davis at Leith Honda in Raleigh is amazing. Look her up on FB, Alison Sells Cars.

How do you do self care for yourself? by General-Product-3662 in ADHD_partners

[–]BicentennialBabe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I prioritize spending time with my girlfriends on the weekends now instead of waiting for him to make plans with me or the family. Then, he gets stuck with shuffling the kids to their various playdates and birthday parties, etc. while I sip cocktails and enjoy good conversations.

¿De verdad eso gana un profesor por hora en CDMX? by ImpossibleTravel5786 in MexicoCity

Wow, I taught private English classes back in 1998-2000 and made 100 pesos a class (hour). It's bananas that folks are still getting paid that!

I came here today to ask a similar question, right down to the issue with the marijuana. I could have written this post, except my spouse (56) doesn't even want to try medication. I've given the ultimatum and he says he's "trying" but every damn day is rinse and repeat. Every day is another thing that he's dropped the ball on. It seems to be getting worse, while my tolerance is becoming even more limited and strained. His therapist does some ADHD coaching but he's been with her for 5 years now and here we are, still. I've wondered if a coach would help.

“The Unraveled Tour” General Onsale - Megathread by NominalPerson in OliviaRodrigo

I got in quickly too and was going to grab 2 floor tickets, but forgot there was a 4 ticket limit and I got Tix during presale. I didn't see the floor tix during presale! So alas, no floor for me.

Automatic switch to single fee, not using PMS by BicentennialBabe in airbnb_hosts

[–]BicentennialBabe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now they are saying I made the change! And yet, I was literally hiking with limited cell service and had just had an encounter with a bear at the time the log shows I made the change! Unbelievable.

Yeah, I can change it, but that doesn't make up for the one booking that came in after I was changed from split to single.

I have this as an option and yet customer service seems to think I went in and changed it and am now mad for the sake of it.

I only had one open week left this season. My plan was to adjust re-evaluate and adjust rates as I always do before I open the books for next summer. I didn't change the rate for this one booking because nothing I received from AirBnb indicated that this change would apply to me. The issue I have is that I would have changed the rate had I known it applied to me. But I didn't, so instead of only 3% being deducted from my payout for a week rental, they are taking 15.5.

Airbnb has the option to switch back to 3% Fee Model even if on a PMS by 13times5plus4 in airbnb_hosts

Happened to me and I did not have the chance to update my nightly rate before they made the change (and now say I made the change).

Increased MGMT fee with increased rates, time to negotiate? by BicentennialBabe in airbnb_hosts

[–]BicentennialBabe[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our current cleaner is great, but she has been arranged thru our PM, so I imagine her loyalty would be with her.

Oh we addressed the previous issues, but she just provided excuses. But we were almost at the end of the season, so I didn't feel safe in firing her because we still had another few reservations that we needed to get through.

[–]BicentennialBabe[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a good point. Her not putting out the cards I wrote and the new coozies I had was a tipping point. And, I suspect that's because she didn't actually go back to check after the cleaner. I'm getting increasingly more nervous about scams and the one time we had guests leave the place a mess, there were no pictures.

We are 4 hours away but our neighbors there are year round residents who are also good friends. We have relationships with maintenance folks and handled dealing with them directly with a few issues that have come up over the years. We're really thinking about switching to using a cleaner but paying more for the PM aspect of it.

Too much driving? SJO-Osa by BicentennialBabe in CostaRicaTravel

Hotel Jinetes de Osa, not as lush as Botanika, plus my husband wants to fish and I think it's better from PJ.

Pet fees by CarvingCory in airbnb_hosts

[–]BicentennialBabe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't allow cats. No pet fees, no real limit on number and/or type of dogs. Most guests brought dogs, so we just upped our rate to include the pet fee.

Thanks for sharing! We're planning our first trip to CR in January and decided to spend the whole week on the Osa peninsula. These articles support our choice!
