[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I own two AirBnB's, one in the Shenandoah and one on the Eastern Shore.  For most of the last 18 months, I have had guests non-stop, even through the dead of winter.  But all of a sudden, it's crickets.  I've got only about one third of my November dates full, and search traffic for my places is way down.

I'm trying to figure out what is going on - have people stopped traveling?   Is less work-from-home affecting business?  Did AirBnB change an algorithm somewhere?  Have people stopped using AirBnB and moved to another platform?  Or are my places suddenly not that interesting?

Do you live near either of these? Who comes by to fix things if the renter has a problem with plumbing etc if you can't be two places at once?[/quote]

I live in Bethesda, so if it is a real emergency I can be in either place in three hours.  But for the most part, i don't have to be there.  If we have a plumbing problem, I call an emergency plumber and they come.  If something spills on the carpet, I call the carpet cleaning company.  Dishwasher breaks?  I call the appliance repair company.   For the most part, I can get things fixed within an afternoon - and the once or twice that something has happened, I have refunded guests for the day. [/quote]
