Restricting one check-in date - but allowing people to already be there.

[Tim66]

I am happy for peoepl to be in my AirBnB room through Christmas Day, so long as they have arrived some time before (a day or a week before, doesn't really matter).

But I don't want to have to deal with anyone checking in that day.

How can I do this?

Do I block the day on the calendar? But would that do more than simply prevent people arriving that day; wouldn't it also prevent anyone staying through that day? (e.g., someone looking for December 22nd for 7 days would be told by the system that my place was not available because the 25th is blocked?).

Thanks

@Tim66 Maybe someone else can better advise you. But if not, the only solution I can think of is restricting Tuesday from being a check in day for now (Christmas falls on a Tuesday). The only problem is every Tuesday from now until you change this setting back will also not be available for check in. Tuesday is not a common guest check in day for me personally, so it might not even affect your current booking rate.

Thanks, that's an option.
