I would find being able to set an option in the calendar to not have folks arrive on a specific day very helpful.
Whether I'm at a tournament, symphony, dinner plans, etc. I would find it very helpful as a host to specify whether or not a guest could arrive on a particular date (Saturday for instance). It's great if a guest already arrived earlier in the week, just not on a particular day I'm busy. This would allow me to keep dates open in the calendar that I would otherwise block because of my availability and preference to give guests tours of our home, and bake fresh treats upon their arrival.
I could see the calendar options be simply offered as:
- Available
- No Arrivals
- Blocked
If you feel this would be helpful to you too, AirBnB needs to hear from you (that's how features are prioritized)! I would kindly ask you to submit some feedback to AirBnB. https://www.airbnb.com/help/feedback
