Hi Everyone, four years ago today I made the brave step forward and put my home live on Airbnb, allowing families, groups and individuals to have my home (pictured here) all to themselves. Fast forward to today, 250 people over some 60 plus stays have made wonderful memories here in Northwest England. Who has stayed? Actors, trainee surgeons, wedding parties, horse race goers, holiday makers, business people to name a few. What went wrong? Nothing. Two items were accidentally damaged (lampshade and a globe), both of which were easily resolved.
Other than the very welcome extra income, what did it do for me? Numerous holidays: after all, I had to go to elsewhere (very happily). Numerous visits to my son in London. Lots of lovely “Airbnb treat” days with my girlfriend, awarding ourselves knowing our guests were settled in well.
However, all good things come to an end and my hosting days are now over as my home will have new owners tomorrow given that my girlfriend and I moving into a new joint home.
Thank you so much Airbnb, we had a great time together! John
