I’ve just received an instant book with the following message,” Oh here we go again. it’s Linda”.
Linda has no previous reviews, is a new user (profile shows she joined this year), her ID phone number and email have been verified, we have no previous conversation history on Airbnb messaging.
I can’t help but wonder who is this Linda character and am I supposed to know her? Or is she simply too exhausted to answer my opening questions such as: tell me a bit about yourself and what brings you to the city. I’m a bit worried I am about to enter the twilight zone when Linda arrives...
I’ve sent Linda a message:
Hi Linda,
Thank you for booking my Airbnb for your stay. Have you stayed in an Airbnb in the past or perhaps at one of my homes? I’m just wondering what you mean by, “Oh here we go again”? Sometimes I have a terrible memory, so I might need a reminder!
Just a thought, should I decorate with some balloons and streamers and hang a sign that says, “HERE WE GO AGAIN! WELCOME LINDA, ENJOY YOUR STAY”.
I could tie some noise makers to the sign. If only I knew if Linda has a sense of humour.
This is a new one for me.
