Hi everyone!
Just got a reservation request with the following note:
"Hey Carolyn, two people coming in for 4 days for a meeting. Just looking for a nice cheap entire apartment to stay in and this looked great. This is my first time renting a place on Air BnB. Hope it's a great experience!"
I am so bothered by the fact that he says he's looking for a cheap place!! To me, that means he's going to TREAT IT like a cheap place. My rate is $74, which is very low for my area, but I don't like this guy's message. I wrote back asking if he could please let me know his age and who else he's traveling with. And, since he has no reviews yet, I asked if he could provide a reference. I also said, "Please be sure to read my listing thoroughly, including the house rules, to make sure it is a good fit for your needs."
Jeez! He called my place CHEAP! .... but perhaps it was just a poor choice of words on his part, or perhaps I am really over-reacting.
Am I being too sensitive??!
