How do I accept a booking that's shorter than my minimum set nights?

[Debi6]

Does anyone know how I can accept a booking that's for two nights when my minimum stay is set for 3 nights? 

Any help will be very welcome.  Thank you Debi

If you are happy to accept click pre approve

suggest you change to two days minimum if that's what you are happy with

I also would like to know if I can offer a guest (on a one-time basis) a shorter stay than my minumum?  We made initial contact before I changed my settings to two nights so I want to honor the initial request although popularity of dates I have listed make 1 night stays impractical.

YES!!! Option #1 ) You can set custom monnstaubrewuirenrhts with pricing for arrange of dates. Option 2) you can imitate. Special offer if you already hafecacdiscussion going with a guest.

It used to be you could just message the host about stay options ie shorther than minimum stay nights. Now you can't message the host unless you put in an available, acceptable date range. So now I'm messaging the host about 2 days even though my inquiry must state the  minimum 3 days the host has set.

@Debi6 Hi, you can always send an offer or change a reservation to reflect  the min or max of days or guests by first changing your setting accordingly, sending off the changed offer or change, then quickly reverting your settings back to what they were.

For ex. if your min # of nights are to recuperate the amount of preparation work, and a night less wouldn't (which is often why hosts set that up and aren't happy with guests asking for less), then you can still change the days to under your normal minimum but overwrite the automatically calculated amount with what you would want.
