What types of guests do you typically host?

[Rebecca]

Hello everyone 👋

I hope you're all doing well. I wanted to ask a question that's been on my mind: What types of guests do you typically host? Are they families enjoying a holiday, business travellers on the go, or maybe solo adventurers exploring new places?

It's always interesting to hear about the different experiences you all have.  

Looking forward to hearing from you soon, 
Rebecca 😊

Our hot tub in Venice

most of the guests in my Venice home are couples, some of them honeymooners ... maybe because Venice is the most romantic city in the world? 😍

Hello @Bakhta1, 

That's a wonderful attraction for guests. Do you have people all year round or mostly during the school holidays and things like that?

Hey Rebecca! 👋

Great question! At BlueOak Residences, we get a nice mix — mostly families in town for weddings or holidays, business travelers who like the quiet setup and fast Wi-Fi, and every now and then, a few public figures too. Always fun meeting new people from all over!

Cheers,

Hello Raheel (@BlueOak0) 👋

You get quite the mix of guests by the sounds of it!  It must be interesting to meet so many different guests. Do you meet them yourself? 

[BlueOak0]

Absolutely, it really is! 😊

Sometimes I do get the chance to meet our guests, which is always lovely  but most of the time, our friendly caretaker is the one who helps them with check-in. We also offer self check-in for those who prefer privacy or are arriving late. It really depends on what the guest is most comfortable with, we just try to take their lead and make things as easy as possible for them.

[Rebecca]

@BlueOak0 That's a great approach. Everyone is different!

We really have a mix here, work related visits, visiting family or friends, attending a wedding, visiting the area, moving to the area, passing through, anniversary celebrations, stop off for the cruise to Alaska, attending a seminar/workshop, attending a concert/event. We have hosted couples, singles, families, young families with infants, toddlers, elderly parents visiting grandkids. Many guests use the transition feature too. It’s amazing how many languages Airbnb has on their platform.

Hello @Lorina14 👋

Wow! You've had quite a variety of guests! It’s interesting how people come to stay for so many different reasons. I suppose that keeps things lively. 😅

We get a fair few grandparents visiting their children, visiting professors attending lectures, traveling professionals who need to stay connected to high-speed internet to work, and quite a few tourists visiting the city, because we are located in a prime spot.

Our favorites, however, are those who choose us because they have severe allergies or immunological disorders. We know first hand that it is incredibly difficult for travelers to find truly scent-free/animal dander-free/hypoallergenic environments to stay in, and our guests are always so increadably grateful to find that truly everything in the flat, right down to the detergent we use to wash the sheets, the soaps/hairproducts/lotions, and even the dishwasher detergent, are 100% scent free and hypoallergenic. 

We lose a few guests to other listings for being scent-free, but having it as an option for those who need it is really quite fulfilling.  

I do wish there were a way for guests to specifically search on Airbnb for hypoallergenic flats. My wife has a serious immunological disorder herself, and finding an accommodation when traveling is always incredibly difficult and time-consuming for us.  I know there are others with flats like ours out there, but it takes a great deal of luck to find them when traveling.
