Hi ,You are so right about that, I now find I am spending more time on the inside of my home, which is frustrating ,as my passion is outside on my four acres ,but I am finding that the inside is more important than the outside , because my guests like to explore the area I live in, and dont stay long enough to enjoy what I have created, so it is a matter of .........Do I hire a gardener, or do I hire a housekeeper , but I find with hosted Air BnB , that people love to talk , and share their experiences , and become very close in the period they stay, and when they leave , I am so sad ....

@Susan869 The toughest part of hosting is keeping a high energy attitude when greeting your new guests. In order to continue getting high 5 ratings, you've got to have a stage presence. The first impression is the lasting one. Each guest wants to be treated as a unique individual. It's not easy to accomplish this cordial greeting if the guest is low energy. You don't want to overdue it either! With frequent turnovers, the guests start to blur into a mass conglomerate of faces. You've got to keep greeting new guests as if it's the only show in town.
All details done? Check list done? It gets repetitious! Fresh flowers, fruit?
The last thing I do before guests arrive?
I check under beds and sofas to insure nothing has been missed. No socks, no candy wrappers, no marbles. It's amazing! I always find something even after vacuuming and mopping!!!
