Airbnb host problems

[Arash69]

Curious to know if most Airbnb hosts are experiencing the same problems.

If you could wave a magic wand and get rid of 3 problems forever (for free), which would you choose?

Problematic guest behaviour

Cleaning management

Maintenance issues

Guest communication

Getting good reviews

Getting higher occupancy

Guest vetting

Something else?

1.  Guest Communication - WHY OH WHY can't we get a customizable notification sound from the Airbnb app!  I miss half the messages that come my way because I can't hear the "blip" sound that comes across on my IPhone.

2.  Problematic guest behavior - Guests that forget that an Airbnb property is likely part of someone's home

3.  Guest vetting - Guests that skirt the process by not using the filtering tools in their search for smoking, number of guests, pets, children, etc., and then assuming it's OK.
