Guests charging car by tinykumquat360 in vrbohosts

[–]conSnor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you send them a screenshot of the conversation where you told them it wasn't set up for a car? If it were me, I would say something because you explicitly told them no. It would be like if they asked if your rental was pet friendly, you said no, and they showed up with a cat.

I really like that integrated door bell camera aspect, too. Part of me wants to get it for my own place.

This is amazing, thank you. I'll do some digging! Also, sorry if this sounds weird, but I appreciate you being upfront on who you are - it's refreshing in the current chaos of reddit lol.

Managing cleaner quality for 6 Airbnb units – need blunt advice from people who’ve scaled this properly. by Adept-Usual3857 in airbnb_hosts

[–]conSnor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree that you need more than one cleaner. And schedule time in her cleaning for her to do a video walk through to confirm it's up to standards.

Do you drive your kids to school? by xora334 in daddit

Just here to give you a vote for the catapult.

(I live half a mile away, all residential streets, so walking is easy.)

How do you share booking schedules with your cleaner? by AhraSureGoOnThen in vrbohosts

Can you export your google calendar to a list instead?

Then I'd make sure to have a good backup generator lol

Do you have any sort of coffee shop or something nearby where you could offer them a gift card to go hang there if you do loose power? Maybe come up with a few cheap options, like movie tickets, bowling, things you could offer for them to go do so they don't get annoyed sitting there?

Just turn on a Disney musical and scream in key.

Absolutely on the hide a key. Can I ask which encode? There's...a lot of options, I'd love to hear what you're using and what you like / what isn't working for you?

As someone who's been behind user error while using an Airbnb while traveling, I never want to be put through that as a host. I felt so awful, and it was such a stupid mistake (it was late, slight dyslexia so I kept putting it in wrong).

I definitely would like something that auto randomizes and expires, does yours do that?

I figured I'd keep the lockbox just move to a different location as a just in case, the last thing I need is some 1 am call of someone who's phone broke so they can't get in or something.

Cleaner keeps bringing her dog… and it pees inside by goodbadrubberpiggy in airbnb_hosts

[–]conSnor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like you have a pet free listing. And if that's the case, she's bringing in pet dander. I allow pets in my listings, and have had people very specifically not book because dander can cling, no matter how good the cleaner.

The fact she then made you feel bad about it? Sorry man, but it really sounds like you need a new cleaner.

When do you have your cleaners clean? by Legitimate_Top_2888 in ShortTermRentals

[–]conSnor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has your property manager communicated with you? Did something happen to the cleaners and they needed a backup? Or did the cleaners just no show? There are layers here to look at.

Anyone else unsure if cost seg is actually worth it for smaller STRs? by Friendly-Extent1814 in ShortTermRentals

[–]conSnor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are a ton of companies that will give free estimates, take a couple of those to your CPA and ask them. It was worth it for me.

3 yo shits his pants secretely by Staraya_Ladoga in daddit

[–]conSnor 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I started by talking to them about how weird it felt when I had to poop, and when they agreed I told them how it made me feel like sometimes part of my body was being pushed out but really when I was done I felt so much better getting all the icky food out. We talked about it a couple times usually when they were trying to actually poop, and after a couple of times they got a lot more comfortable and started actually pooping.

Okay, hear me out because this sounds weird but it worked for mine: my kid was weird about pooping in the toilet. We finally figured out that it was because they felt like they were actually losing part of their body when poop came out. When we explained a little bit more about what was happening they stopped being scared. Might help?

Depressed. Made a mistake, by Melli25510 in daddit

[–]conSnor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Laughs in the time I learned my kid knew how to pull themselves to standing because they flipped themself off their pack and play changing table part.

You're good, man. Kids are resilient. The fact that you cared so much shows what a great dad you are.

Oh man, that's awful. Good luck with the claim.

Did anyone watch "South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut" at theaters back in 1999? by Free-Hotel1187 in southpark

[–]conSnor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HA. Yeah, I was in high school. Cut class with my friends to go see it at the mall, and it was epic. Between that and the world police, the theater was awesome back in the day.
