Hi everyone.
I have a link called "Guidebook: Things to do in Paris" which appears on my listing:
https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/9584136?preview
If I click on the "edit" link below it, there are questions such as "Food Scene: What are your favorite restaurants, bakeries, and coffee shops? Drinks & Nightlife, etc."
And the page hangs, I cannot even scroll down to see what the other questions are.
Anyway, there is no such thing in my village. There is not even a grocery shop. There are woods and farms. There are 4 buses per day to go to the local railay station.
This links gives guests the wrong impression. Even if they are driving, my place is not a convenient starting point to visit Paris. If they come by train, they can forget it. Night life? How are they supposed to come back? The last bus leaves the train station at 7PM! Should they drink and drive?
I wrote about it when describing my place, but most people don't seem to read it. They can look up Choisel on some map, but most people don't seem to do it. And this "Things to do in Paris" link gives a very wrong impression.
I have had several requests from tourists who wanted to visit Paris. Each time, I have to tell them individually that my place is NOT IN PARIS!!! Well, I could simply decline the request, but I feel I have to tell them why I'm declining it, it's more friendly. I advise them to look up possible places on a map before attempting to book them.
I have had Chinese guests expecting me to drive them about for free. In exceptional circumstances, I will pick up a guest at the railway station (last time I did it, it was because they missed the last bus due to a railway strike). A guest went for a walk in the woods and his dog got wounded by a wild boar. I drove guest and dog to the vet, stayed with them, let the guest stay an extra night for free because his dog needed surgery and had to spend the night in the vet clinic... The dog survived and is now fully healed, the guest sent me a picture and good news by email :). I'm not heartless, but I'm not a taxi!
