Hello,
I’m Ranveer Airbnb superhost from India. I’ve been part of Airbnb since 2017.
Till 2017 my family’s only income was from renting our place to local people or students.
I graduated in the year 2017 and left my job to start a Airbnb with my place, my family was a little scared for first but now they see me as a hero now.
For the past 2 years whatever I earned I spent it all over in making my listing extraordinary. If it’s wall paintings, home decor, lamps, bathrooms renovations, new beds, kitchen appliances, or new electric appliances I did everything.
I have 2 homes in different locations, 1 home with 2 listings and other with 4 listings in it.
I also listed my personal room and shifted myself to a common room so I can make few extras. (Listening name: NHI05)
I did face few issues with some guests but Airbnb support team was always there for me.
My family only source of income is Airbnb I have not listed my place on any other OTAs.
I hired 3 housewives from my neighborhood and gave them jobs for housekeeping and laundry, they’re also my responsibility now.
I was really happy when our CEO announced Superhost Relief Fund, I’m in desperate need of that I know talking about profits is not I should do here, but to pay wages and bills I’m in need of funds.
I have hosted more than 300 trips and never let Airbnb down.
Now as I'm not fitting the criteria of having only 2 active listings, will Airbnb help me with the relief funds?
And also how they'll get to know that I'm in urgent need of funds?
