June 24th, I got this inquiry:

Here’s my answer:

Didn’t expect an answer, but didn’t get one.  SmartPricing did have those dates at very high rates (roughly 40% higher than the minimum), but it’s Columbus Day weekend and peak leaf season in Maine so there’s no reason to beg for a booking now.

 

This morning, I got an IB, took a look and thought. “That name seems familiar - is the guy who stayed in February coming back already?”  Nope, it was Honeymoon Man, and here was his booking message:

Naturally I wrote an enthusiastic note back.  But I love the way he saved face by saying “as discussed.”

As if I didn't love you enough already!!! 🙂

 

A perfect and entirely appropriate answer! I'm glad they went ahead and booked and would have loved to have seen his face when he read your message!

@Ann72,

 

The guest should have at least invited you to the wedding reception before expecting you to hand him a gift envelope.

Don't just believe what I say, check the Airbnb Help Center

@Debra300  Ha!  Good point!  🙂
