Thank You for the questions - I am also a new host - my first guest booked out this morning (01/07/2022) which felt like a huge relieve! Safety and security is a huge concern for me.
I do however thought that I can not ask any or similar questions, as that would deter the booking...
My guest was also a first timer, with nothing on his profile but a picture and like you said - only visible once the booking is confirmed. I can not help to think that Airbnb have little idea of what we are putting ourselves through accepting complete strangers into our personal spaces (in my case - private room in house)...
If any would like to share insights on this matter and I hope that I have addressed it under the correct discussion (still learning).
Much appreciated.
