Hi @Niel0
The reference to the medical field is amusing ....particularly as I had one chap.....a doctor from Aberdeen Royal instant book my only 2 existing bedrooms for 5 nights early this summer....I only have a maximum of 2 bedrooms, clearly stated in my accurate listing.
The party consisted of 2 female friends and himself.
Great I thought.....a medic.....( My own career was with the NHS)
I accepted the booking then immediately came his request of “ Can you answer some questions?”........fire away I replied.
I need 3 bedrooms......( note the word, ‘Need’)
My reply ........there are only 2 bedrooms.
Brief pause........
My female friends need privacy.........the word ‘Need’, is now a red flag indicator for me!
My reply.......there is plenty of privacy as it’s a large house. You can sleep upstairs in the spacious king size bedroom with large private sole use shower room and your female guests can sleep downstairs in the spacious double ensuite bedroom that has a large sitting area with a sofa and a tv. Or you can decide who sleeps where in the 2 allocated bedrooms, each with their own bathroom/ shower room.
Undeterred this genius of the medical profession asked ( I made sure was going to be his last request).........Can you put up a bed in your living room, for more privacy?
My reply......Regretfully my living room IS for living in, its never had a bed in it before now and it
will NEVER have a bed in it subsequently.
I phoned up air bnb promptly in London and cancelled the booking without any penalty no to myself.
A professional medic?.....thank goodness he was educated otherwise he would be walking on ALL fours!.....( from a fellow retired professional person who spent most of her working life in the NHS and now retired.......not yet retarded thank goodness)
