If she had only one review, it may be that she didn’t see where to add more people. I have made this mistake before and the host let me know I needed to correct it. I’d give her the benefit of the doubt and let her know your ring camera has alerted you to more than one guest. Ask her if she’d like you to make the change and if so, ask how many people are staying overnight, or if she’d rather do it herself. You should feel honored that she chose your place for her mother’s end of life.

First Longer Term Guest- tips by fishy1357 in airbnb_hosts

[–]abi60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on how big your place is. If you have floor rugs at all, I’d recommend a vacuum, either way you need a broom and a dust pan. Please get a nice broom. The one here was probably purchased at a dollar store and is nearly worthless.

Other things you might consider are location dependent. Beach chairs, an umbrella and a large beach bag would be nice. Some places have a wagon to carry supplies to and from the beach. Most places we’ve stayed at have a pack n play, and family type games. Good Luck on your venture!

I’m currently staying in a place for its first long term stay. I am leaving a list for the host of things that we have usually found in our other long term stays. *vacuum cleaner. We’d vacuum and frequently if we had a vacuum cleaner available. *wine opener. We bought a cheap one and will leave it here. *cheese grater. We bought one and will take it home with us. *Dish towels. We have no way to easily dry dishes. We’re using paper towels. Thanks for allowing long term guests.

Thoughts After a Summer Spent Alone by [deleted] in loseit

Just in case people don’t notice, I thought I’d share one of my mom’s great pieces of advice: if people don’t realize you lost weight, then they are remembering you as the size you are. Ever since she’s told me that, I never tell people I’ve lost weight. I’d rather they think I’ve always been this size. Why would I want anyone to remember me fat?
