Thanks Allison...
First, "I understand the rules of security deposits," second, I've been an Airbnb Superhost since I started three years ago, and in addition to never having issues with long term stays before this year, I just thought it would be nice to have the 'powers that be' implant options into long term stays beyond just a percentage discount.
But alas! I did come up with the following that solves my issue:
- I raised the price for a 28 day stay by $200… it was 1,400 now it’s 1,600… and…
- Added it to the bottom of the description of “A private room for your convenience” ---
Your private bedroom in the quiet & trendy neighborhood of Echo Park; nestled just above Sunset Blvd, centrally located to a thriving downtown Los Angeles, Hollywood Walk of Fame, Universal City/Studios, Beverly Hills, West Hollywood and thirteen miles from Venice, Santa Monica & Malibu beaches... restaurants, hiking trails, golf courses, World renowned museums; and least to be mentioned - famous and infamous party places, sport venues and theatre! (7 day/$430 - 30 day/$1600 single occupancy)
I have set my prices accordingly to not have guests additional charges beyond the Airbnb fee and the Los Angles Hotel Tax (which Airbnb collects on our behalf and distributes to LA directly) excluding any additional service charges such as a security deposits and/or a cleaning fee. Personally, I like it when I don’t have additional charges – all very simple, straight and forward for one price.
