In a busy month, how much $$ do you bring in?

What about in a slow month?

Got that right. I really was just hoping to correct a lot of misunderstandings about Airbnb. Instead... we get a debate over duvets vs. comforters. Sigh.

If you aren't paranoid that everyone is out to get you through either hidden cameras or "sploogy" linens, I do encourage you to try out Airbnb. We are good people just trying to share our beautiful corners of the world at an affordable rate. Most of us go out of our way to make your stay comfortable and memorable. We know our cities, so we can point you to restaurants and experiences you won't find on Tripadvisor. Most of my guests mention in our reviews how our recommendations enhanced their vacations.

We also have fire extinguishers, smoke alarms, locks and a commitment to cleanliness. Believe me, nothing kills an Airbnb's business like a 1-star review on cleanliness.

Seriously, there is a whole world out there and Airbnb makes it affordable to see it. Try it.

OP, when you refuse to wash your comforter, you have to realize, surely, that many find this unhygienic and are grossed out by it. You also need to work on moderating your snark in responses- this is a customer based industry, after all.

Sadly, I think you made a choice to represent a company on here when you are simply not up to the task. You need to take responsibility instead of getting angry at your potential customer base


NP here, and I hope you realize how ridiculous you sound.


Another NP here, and this is exhibit A for why I would never be an Air BNB host. Too many crazy people in the world.
