Back to the topic « Hosting longer stays »
i don’t understand why AirBNB is pushing so much for host to accept animals.
unless Brian Chesky wants to visit every single one of us with his dog Sophie !!!
accepting animals has a lot of impact
on the wear and tear of the house,
on the land around if owner do not pick-up after its dog,
on the potential allergy a cat could cause in the house,
on the noise level of a barking poney,
of the fear I would have if their snake escape his cage,
etc … you get the picture
many host around me are accepting animals, I don’t. That’s it !! My floor & myself will not change our mind.
actually the only time it crossed my mind after a long stay guest inquiry, I checked the « animal » fee on the Apps … I saw that the max I could charge for an animal per stay is the cost of one night, which is not enough for me to take the risk of a dog to scratch my recently varnish floor, to eat my beautifully selected cushions, to ruin my lovely furniture or to pee (or worst) on my soft carpet …
if we do not accept animal, it is not because we have not seen the functionality on the website or because we forgot, ir is because we have good reason for it
