I screwed up, could use some advice.

I tool over the keys of my first short term rental this week and posted it and got a 4 bookings which is great.  However I was careless and didnt fully understand the transition process and didn't realize the previous owner was going to be helpful.   The previous owner said he is calling airbnb Monday to transfer all the bookings which is significant and there will be some double booking.  What is the best way out of this without canceling those bookings since that will look bad on me starting out?  Yes...I know I deserve everything negative that happens to me on this one, but learned a lesson.
