My rooms are set as Instant booking as recommended by Airbnb. Yesterday I had an enquiry from a man (photo and name of male) saying he was a naturist and would I be comfortable with this. I had visions of him walking around my house naked!! I explained that I have to consider other guests so good luck finding a place suitable. His profile was quite odd as it looked like he was advertising himself looking for a date. His photo was head and top of his body without clothes. Today I noticed the photo had changed and the name is now Lucy!!
Super odd, @Moira21. Looks like you dodged a bullet there. Perhaps you can report the profile for Air BNB to look at using the flag under the profile name.
Wow Moira! I have met some unusual people hosting but that just takes the cake. I have not been brave enough to go the instant booking route,and your experience has just confirmed my worries. I am glad you gave him the heave ho!
