I rent out of my home and travel for work sometimes. I don't mind guests staying in the house while I am gone, but I would like a block feature that would prevent a booking from starting during certain days (while I am gone) but would still allow someone to book those days if their reservation started BEFORE that period. I can just block the whole time I am gone (say, three days) but if someone wanted the place for the week and would arrive two days before I was leaving on my trip, they are out of luck, and both I AND AirBnB are out some $$. (My son lives in the area and is on my account. He is available if there is a problem, but I hate to impose on him to flip the room.)
