Is there a way other than removing direct booking to block locals? This far my experience with locals has been bad. Some trow gatherings, some bring domestic disputes, and even a few caught in affairs at my SHARED SPACE! Other than house maintenance issues, I see no reason for locals to use my service and would rather block them.
I completely agree. Something always goes wrong when locals rent. They are either homeless, plan to make a huge mess or they are extremely entitled. It's always bad and dangerous. I've been asking for a block on this for years! I'm absolutely ready to sell my duplex over this. I only bought it to do Airbnb.
