if anyone in Dublin is concerned with Dublin City Council threat to destroy Airbnb Lock boxes.  Consider parcel lockers.

Hi @Karen4519 😊, 

Thank you for sharing this here!

What do you think about it? 

I also suggest sharing this with local hosts through our 👉Local Host Clubs.

I'm tagging a few hosts from Dublin to see what they think about this situation: @Ankit110, @Gabby-and-Mike0, @David11510, @Craig993, @Fernando2542, @Gary230 and @Diane1630.

Warm regards 🌻,

Hello fellow members , hope all well. Personally I don’t use lock boxes but parcel lockers seems promising

Hey Karen! I totally agree with this action—those locks look pretty bad and they don’t do justice to the property where they’re placed. Honestly, I would never leave my house key in a random spot where anyone could grab it. There's actually a service I use called KEYNEST—it’s about 24 euros a month, and they store your keys at their partner locations. Guests can pick them up anytime, 24/7, and they’re super secure since they can only get them with a code you provide. It’s a bit pricier, but so much less hassle in the long run!

Really pleased that the Corporation is removed illegally placed lock boxes installed by hosts on the Corporations property such as lampposts, bike racks and street signage poles.

Why do you think it's acceptable for hosts to do this @Karen4519 

[Karen4519]

Hi Helen, i didn’t give an opinion on the lock boxes. Personally I prefer not to have them.   I use parcel lockers. Safer 24 hours/7. Just an option for anyone who is struggling with the corporation decision

That's interesting you're not a host. So looks like you posted to promoting this product 😕 @Karen4519

Hi Helen, I am a host but we’ve spent 3 years renovating after a lot of storm damage  and some other issues we are hosting again. Fabulous location gorey. It was just an alternative solution after reading  an article that might be helpful . No harm intended
