cancel due to illness?

Hi, all - Last night my daughter and I came down with the flu - you know, fever, achy body, tired, sore throat, nose with guck in it.  I was all set to vacate my home and stay at a friend's house, but I don't want to leave my house, because I don't want to get my friend sick, and I feel like my place will still have my and my daughter's germs in it.  She is all set to spend the night at her dad's, but I can't do that, as we're divorced.  Do I have to produce a doctor's note in order to cancel the reservation?  I know this would be bad for my guests - 3 college students from about 2 hours away.  What should I do?

I would telephone airbnb immediately. I don't think you need a note and presumably they will be able to hear your voice. I would let the guests know asap as well. I believe airbnb can help them find an alternative as it's so close to their arrival 

 

hope you feel better soon!
