This is part of the email I was sent yesterday :-
“Sandra,
As you may have heard in the news earlier this week, we are calling for the government to introduce a nationwide, simple and modern registration system for the short-term letting sector.
Our proposal follows a UK-wide consultation process with policymakers, communities and local Hosts like you. We would like to invite you to hear first-hand from Airbnb representatives about how we think a registration system can address local challenges authorities face, but also how it can benefit you as a Host.”
I already feel we should jump through hoops to make my place acceptable for certain “needs”
Popular Amenities - I don’t take pets,have air con or hair dryer
Flexible Stays-I don’t have self check in, instant book or flexible cancellation
Family Travel -I don’t take pets, children or infants
Remote Workspace -I don’t have self check in, instant book or air con
i am classed as ok for Longer Stays and Advance Bookings
i have reasons for not having the above - pets - garden not enclosed , air con -I live in Birmingham only a few days a year when air con would be nice,
self check in - I live here never found it a problem, children or infants - bedroom doesn’t have a door,opens directly onto staircase so do not consider it safe for younger ones
ive stopped doing instant book when this virus hit, and flexible cancellation is my choice
i just feel that we could be asked to do more when if you look at my reviews guests seem to like my way of hosting why alter it
You say better hosts but why not better guests, I’ve had a couple I wish I hadn’t had
