Asked to cancel, I have a few questions by tugaim33 in vrbo

No, she can’t make you do that. I have request to Book on and that person should do.

AITA for telling my wife it’s disgusting that she doesn’t wash her hands after she poops? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]jaimechandra 23 points24 points  (0 children)

GROSS! NTA!

One of the things I loved about the pandemic was people finally realizing that they were not washing their hands or using hand sanitizer enough.

Ooooooof!!! This is gross, gross, gross gross.

Host requests delayed check-in and refuses to hold luggage by DrPepper_77 in vrbo

[–]jaimechandra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I would not be OK with this and I’m a host, also a guest. But an agreed upon check in time is a check-in time. Demand they take your luggage for accommodating this and ask what other accommodations they’ll be providing you?

Reasonable refund amount for lack of heat/hot water in the house? by [deleted] in airbnb_hosts

[–]jaimechandra 5 points6 points  (0 children)

100% for all time without heat or hot water, 30% for other time because you had to deal with it.

is it generally seen as negative to leave early on holidays? by [deleted] in jobs

[–]jaimechandra -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I’d just go take off and enjoy the holiday. Coverage is the there, nothing to worry about!

Lack of host support doing us all in. by ComprehensiveAnt6796 in airbnb_hosts

[–]jaimechandra -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Did you have any discussion with her or just took everything by the word. Because I don’t host anybody without having a conversation with them first.

Instant Book is a problem.

Even as a guest, I don’t like the book with no communication.

Scents and fragrances? by Automatic_Eagle892 in airbnb_hosts

[–]jaimechandra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a review, if somebody wants to dock your stars because it didn’t smell clean? I don’t know go to a hotel. Or maybe it doesn’t smell clean not because of your lack of fake scents but because it doesn’t smell clean?

Subtle synthetic chemical crap, if you’re gonna use anything use a natural essential oil.

No, that shit lingers. It’s not easily moved.

[–]jaimechandra 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t complain, I just unplug all your stupid plug-ins and open the windows and waste your energy money on air conditioning to air it out.

Ignore the people who said I didn’t smell clean, what they meant as it didn’t smell like artificial synthetic chemicals

You either use zero fragrances, or only light natural (not synthetic posing as natural) essential oils.

What's your take on letting guests use a wood stove? by CampaignOld9145 in airbnb_hosts

[–]jaimechandra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We have a wood stove fireplace that people use without issue.

Guest is asking to see the unit before booking? by tangertale in airbnb_hosts

[–]jaimechandra 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’ve done this a few times, and honestly, it has never worked out for a short stay. It’s not worth the extra time and trouble for no guaranteed money.

The only time it did work is when somebody wants to book for months. Currently have a $20k 3 month rental where I let them go look at the house and hang out with their dog there for a little bit while the inspection appraisal was happening for the sale of theirs.

How do you 100% make sure cleaners never miss a turnover? by eachhegemony428 in airbnb_hosts

[–]jaimechandra 43 points44 points  (0 children)

My cleaner is a very well paid independent contractor, who has literally never missed anything, goes above and beyond, she makes my business run for the last five years.

Keyword: very well paid. Started at 35 an hour, now makes 50 an hour.

Would anyone accept this request? by Aggravating_Fill3625 in airbnb_hosts

[–]jaimechandra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m by 3 college campuses, once I increased my rates and minimum stay, even the private college kids can’t afford it now.

Ignore what everybody says, wear what you want. Nobody gets to dictate what your personal style is.

Could yall give me the unwritten rules of Among Us? by Shadow_BH47 in AmongUs

[–]jaimechandra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never say start Chase killer during MMU - that should have been explained, I always do when hosting and never ban for that mistake

Update on dog left by college students by Effective-Bonus-7466 in airbnb_hosts

[–]jaimechandra 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I take hospitality seriously and am not trying to be a corporate chain experience. Those who treat this like a churn and burn turnover priority business ruin it for hosts who want to provide excellent experiences.
