STR guests can be a trip....

Well, I had a couple just leave one of my places and she left a review saying "wonderful house, so cute and great location, but it is not suitable for young children". When I went to clean it today, it was one of our messier guests ever. Little crumbs everywhere, grease  and syrup, had to do a deep clean.

So I went 'huh' to myself and went and checked my listing on AirBnB. Sure enough, it says in the description - Not suitable for infants under 2 yrs old AND 'not suitable for children 2 - 12'.

In addition to that, when she booked our place, she noted that there would be '3' adults staying....nothing about kids.

So I posted a response that she had not mentioned kids when she booked so what was the problem? No reply. So she snuck her kid in and then complained it wasn't suitable for kids....go figure.

Fortunately most guests are good honest people. We only get weird stuff like this 1 in 50 maybe........
