Ok, lets put some perspective on this post!
We hosts want to make money, not extravagant, I only average $450 a week, not a lot to have strangers on your property 5 nights out of 7!
All of us hosts are looking for ways to assist in making that income and if hosting parties made hosts money, we would be into it like a pig into ham salad!
Experience tells us that parties, far from making us money cost us heaps...in some instances they destroy us!
You people who want to party are all great reasonable people in the cold hard light of day but, put you into a party scene you all become bloody monsters. After a few drinks someone falls on the glass top coffee table and smashes the glass...."Oh, never mind, accidents happen, this is after all a party". Next, someone rushes outside and empties the contents of their stomach over the balcony onto a neighbouring resident and his wife standing next to their car! There is a knock on the door and suddenly there is another 15 bodies with a couple of cartons of coldies in tow.
Do I have to go on, it happens time after time, there is no such thing as a responsible party hosts!!!!
Parties are every hosts worst nightmare, no exceptions, because you lovely people are there for three reasons....to brag, to outdo each other, and to get drunk!
Not one of you would be prepared do in your own home what you intend to do that unfortunate hosts listing....and then quick as a flash you shut down your payment method so the poor bloody host cannot claim for the damages you have created against you.
People who want to hire a hard working hosts property to have a party have no morals and no responsibility, they are simply out to shaft some poor unsuspecting individual.
You go and bust up a Mc Donalds, or a local bar or church hall and leave us hosts to looking after genuine guests.
Shame on you I say!!!
Cheers......Rob
