We had a really fun and interesting family from the UK stay with us last summer. They (just mom & dad) are back in the USA now but vacationing on the wet coast. I guess we spoiled them here in Georgia last year because I recieved this message from him recently about his current airbnb stays...
Hi Donald. Can you tell me as an Airbnb host what the deal is with providing drinks , snacks and most importantly breakfast ? As you set a very high bench mark we have been very disappointed with basic provisions on this trip.
I responded and told him that I do actually care about my guests stay and make an extra effort to be sure they're comfortable.
Well we are totally aware you go above and beyond but we would rather pay another $10 on the price to save having to go out again and search for coffee, milk and cerial after a day driving. I have mentioned this to all our hosts so far. Some agree but one came back with "You broke our futon!" ... we didn't break their futon at all. Thanks for the info. I will contact Airbnb about it i think. Tell them to warn all travellers of the dangers of staying in California! Lol. Thanks Donald
I responded that many airbnb hosts are just letting you stay on their property to help make their sky high mortgage payment and they're actually kind of put-off by you being there.
I am now realising this , its very apparent here that we are just paying the mortgage! The futon woman had all these notes pinned all over the kitchen from people raving about how great it was there, ....it wasn't and i told her.
