Alexandra, thanks for welcoming me/us to your life!
We can feel powerlessness in face of a system that seems at times too simple to accommodate situations such as yours - and mine. I've just lost my superhost status due to cancelling the lone July reservation because of extreme heat here in the desert this summer. Probably saved this girl's life! But no, me bad , according to the system. We can be consoled by remembering that our best business comes from the images, reviews, and good energy radiated by the site as a whole.
On the practical side, more clarity, more repetition may help - but I'm thinking Airbnb is not far from a re-design where important info must be signed off by the guest before booking. Even though this still doesn't guarantee dudes and dudettes will read it !!
