I posted this twice today but I don't think it went through. Forgive me if you are seeing this multiple times.
Here is my first question. A prospective guest (my first) who came with wonderful reviews was actually seeking a room for the 26 year old daughter of her boyfriend. I took the young person in. The young person is not registered with air B and B and the person who came with the wonderful reviews is paying. When issues arise (and they have) do I talk directly to my guest or should I talk instead, or in addition, to the paying "guest" who is my age?
WHich leads me to my second question. My favorite pot (as in large pan) was missing this morning. I use it every day and very much needed it. My guest only had permission to use the microwave and toaster oven and she told me that she would not be cooking. I made do without the pot but I was upset about it missing. I finally went into my guest's room (she was not there) and found the pot there. It was empty and I can't figure out why she would have brought it in there, but this is the issue I feel I need to address with her. It's just not OK to take things from the kitchen like that. My other question for the community, is is it OK to go into a guest's room? I have blankets and sheets and towels and all kinds of things stored in the guest closet, so I have lots of reason to go in there. I did not snoop in her stuff at all, but I looked just long enough to see my pot. How much privacy should a guest expect? Is it ever OK to look in a guest's room?
