Bonjour Rebecca,

Merci beaucoup pour ce message chaleureux et accueillant ! 😊

Je suis ravi(e) de me lancer dans cette aventure d’hôte au sein de cette communauté dynamique. L’idée d’ouvrir mes portes aux voyageurs me remplit d’enthousiasme, et je suis impatient(e) de créer des moments mémorables pour mes futurs invités.

Ce qui m’excite le plus, c’est l’opportunité d’apprendre à offrir une expérience exceptionnelle et personnalisée. J’ai hâte d’améliorer continuellement mes compétences en matière d’accueil, que ce soit en perfectionnant l’art de la communication avec mes invités ou en créant une ambiance chaleureuse et accueillante dans mon espace.

partenaire pour aider Je suis également très intéressé(e) par toute assistance que vous pourriez me fournir, qu’il s’agisse de conseils pratiques pour débuter ou de ressources pour maximiser la satisfaction des invités. Mon objectif est de devenir un hôte exemplaire et de faire en sorte que chaque séjour soit une expérience inoubliable pour mes visiteurs. et pourquoi pas devenir par hôte partenaire pour aider d’autres propriétaires

Encore une fois, merci pour votre soutien, et je me réjouis de partager cette aventure avec vous et le reste de la communauté.

À très bientôt .

Thank you for asking @Rebecca 

 

The system looks pretty solid from the hosting side. I have been a guest for several years and hosting is new to us.

 

I like and appreciate ...

  1. The "coverage" or protection for the Host
  2. Calendar and availability indications are easy
  3. It is possible to communicate with Support staff; text, voice.   What a concept!!!! 😉  Appreciated.

 

Frustrations

  1. My wife and I are trying to co-manage one property. This seems to be a big challenge for the permission model. She is the "Host". I am the "Co-host".
  2.  So what's the problem? Communications go to her and not me. We both need the communications so we can jointly manage the property.
  3. Problem. The bank account setup was convoluted and difficult. Took several tries and multiple Support calls. Don't think the Support staff gave us the shortest route to resolution.

No doubt, these friction points are in place due to past abuses.

 

After 5 conversations with the AirBnB staff there appears no way to have us be "equal" in managing the property. Equal communications. Equal property mgt functions. Frustrating. 

 

Enjoy the summer!

Hi there, opened the 1st BnB in May and it's doing phenomenal.  Hoping to get a better feeling about host services and how hosts are treated on the platform.  So many horror stories.  I want to have more confidence that Airbnb has my back.
