Describe your 2024 as a host in one word

Hosting 2024 Airbnb Community Center.jpeg

 

Hello everyone 👋

As the year comes to an end, many of us reflect on how the last 12 months have gone. Whether it was full of ups, some downs, surprises or interesting meets, I think it’s safe to say we’ve all had yet another big year.

 

With that in mind, I’d like to invite you to look back on 2024 together: can you think of one word that encapsulates the past year for you?

 

Looking forward to reading all your words of choice! 😃

Wishing you all the best, 
Rebecca

There seems to be so much laundry!  We have a three-bedroom holiday apartment in Dorset, England, which sleeps up to six people.  I have a brilliant cleaner, but I help with the washing and drying of the laundry, and it takes ages!  I have blocked same-day changeovers, so that should take some of the pressure off.

Laundry can become quite a lot to manage indeed @Jane4673, I imagine even more so for an apartment that welcomes up to 6 guests! You might find this discussion, where other hosts discuss their approach to this challenge, interesting: How do you handle the cleaning and management of bed linens and sheets?

 

Have you had any bookings yet since you've implemented that block for same-day changeovers? I'd be curious to know how you find it. 🙂

@Irma370  Sounds like hosting has been a bit of a wild ride! But I hope there we more moments of calm and smooth sailing. Is there one positive hosting experience that stuck with you from 2024?
