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

A favorite hosting moment... 

I'd have to say the couple who chose to stay in our home for their wedding weekend. They were married on the riverfront. We have a little, red trolley in our town which they hired to pick up the wedding party from our home and take them to the venue. I loved the pictures of the bridesmaids getting ready too. I was so pleased they shared their experience with me.... and of course, the wonderful review. ❤️

The word I would use to describe my 2024 as a host is...PLEASED.

 

Even with the one not so great experience I had as a host; overall, it has been a successful and educational 6 1/2 months.

@Muslim4 You've got me intrigued, what had been irregular about last year? My mind goes to bookings and occupancy but you might be referring to something else entirely. 👀

Limitlessly profitable only if one knows how to analyze a five star hotel and implement them into your own property . EV charging , early check in, airport shuttle, room air purifier.etc. Luxury amenities and additions go on for days. 😉

@James4510 Apologies for the late response -when I came across your message at last I had to jump in ☺️

Which of the amenities you offer makes the biggest difference do you think?
