Hi Ange, @David126 is quite right, Airbnb would be inundated with trivial calls about issues that could be dealt with by the host if they would just stop to think for a while.
The whole idea of this forum is to relieve Airbnb of a major part of their 'issues' load. The Community Forum is NOT Airbnb, it is another company contracted by Airbnb as a feedback service.
I did not start this topic with the serious thought that Airbnb would suddenly put up their contact details in 'foot lights'!!! But my intention was to start a sensible dialouge amongst hosts to try and come up with a solution to this contact problem that would be acceptable to Airbnb.
I don't think we are ever going get a situation where prospective hosts are going to do their homework and cover all bases but, there must be some way of convincing Airbnb to make themselves more accessable, and I am sure the collective witt of many of the outstanding hosts associated with this forum might just be able to do that.....At least we are talking about it.
Cheers to you all, may the sun always be at your shoulder.....Rob
