HI Rudy,
thanks for reminding me of original airbnb idea!
I think sometimes i get a bit carried away and try to provode more than is usual.
Altho when an international guest arrives on late flight I do provide a bit extra, and tell them this.
Recently tho i had a guest who was there from 10 pm , stayed two nights left 5 am two days later. When he arrived, there was a new unopened packet of muesli and a new container of jam .. (as well as the usual condimenrts oat milk (i ask Guests their milk preference) a loaf of bread, tomatos, chutney, 2 eggs, butter jams vegemite (it's an Australian spread!) and when i was preparing for next Guest, i saw no muesli and jam also gone..i texted him asked where they were, and he said " i ate heaps but took those...do you want them dropped back...sorry. "
I said thanks for apology, and no don;t worry re dropping back, but food is for GUests to have while here, not take away, and maybe i wasn't clear enough in my description or maybe i need a note to say "welcome to use food but please dont take away " or something like that.
I was annoyed with myself later for texting him, but think food is provided for while Guest is there, NOT to take away. I would never take anything provided, just use while there.
I keep my price modest ($60 per night) no service or cleaning fee . Which is slightly less than other of similar type in area. And I do say there is muesli, fruit etc for first mornings breakfast, but after that there are lots of coffee shops nearbye.
What does everyone think? Was I too picky? Do i confuse Guests?
I gave him a good review as he was a lovely Guest otherwise, I think that made me even more surprised, that he would take stuff, Any thoughts anyone?
