[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are about to AirBnB next week for the first time.  The house we will be renting is this family's second rental unit.  Their primary residence is within 10 minutes of the rental.

I didn't have concerns like OP because we selected a home that had a lot of good reviews from other folks who had rented this place.  The owner also got good reviews and so far, with the communication that I've had with him, I can understand why he got good reviews.  All good so far.  I'll report back in about 2 weeks after we return from our trip.

So we stayed in our first AirBnB a few weeks ago (I forgot to come back and update the thread before).

We had a wonderful rental.  The hosts were great.  They lived about 3 miles/5-10 minutes from the rental.  The house was great.   Having a 3-BR 2500 sf house for 1/3 the cost of a 2-BR 800-sf Residence Inn suite was much better for us.  The kids had tons of space to play, there was a fenced in backyard for some running around.  It was nice because the public space (including play area for the kids) was downstairs.  That meant if one parent got up with the kids early, the other parent could sleep in easier.  Having stayed in many Residence Inns, even with the door closed, the kids playing just outside the door was loud.

We had a couple of small issues but the owners were responsive to texts.  They also checked in with us about every 2-3 days if they hadn't heard from us, asking if everything was okay or we  needed anything.  Had a couple of small questions and they answered by text.  All worked out great for us.  I think it helped that this unit has been rented by many people before who gave both the unit and owner good reviews (I did, too).

As I mentioned before, I didn't have concerns because this wasn't the owner's primary residence, but the owner's first home.  When he had a family, he moved to a bigger home and is renting out his first home, so it is not owner occupied.[/quote]
