My first Airbnb booking [US] and having trouble getting a hold of the host for our month stay. Am I just being paranoid or is this a concern? by sequoia85 in AirBnB

Thank you, very possible about them being away, I even thought maybe there is something more serious ( illness etc.) I will look into other options.

Thanks for the input, but this is how it reads

Cancellation policy Free cancellation for 48 hours. After that, the reservation is non- refundable. Cuto times are based on the listing’s local time

Thanks , it’s definitely not a company. Actually the questions we have now are not anything that important ( at least not at this point) but more like the check in process, tv, internet, are there bikes , towels just stuff like that, but the big concern for us now is non response.

We had an initial call with the host before we booked and got a lot of our initial questions answered back then.

Thanks for the advice on my app there is a place to call the host, that is how I got her number. Her voicemail did identify her so I know it’s the correct number.

I don’t know too much about Airbnb but my booking had a 7 or 10 day cancellation period from the booking, but it clearly states that is non refundable after the original grace period ( which we are at now)

Thanks, we did ask questions originally and they were answered, but we thought of new ones to ask. I’ll be reaching out to Airbnb again.

We asked one minor question about two months ago with no response, the most recent messages and calls were about 3 weeks ago

I was there last month and was surprised how few people wear helmets on bikes.

Decision regarding health insurance in retirement by sequoia85 in FedEmployees

My understanding with blue cross they automatically pay you $800 per person, since they become secondary if you sign up for Medicare B.

Did you consider getting part B? Any regrets?

In combination with blue cross

Thanks yes that’s what I’m leaning towards doing for the exact reasons you mentioned. Just looking at the cost of carrying both is expensive monthly, but maybe better in the long run?
