Local Bookings + Instant Bookings

David Warneke
Posted

Hey Everyone - 

I just made my first Airbnb live (super excited). I had a booking come through that's a local person, for two nights (next Friday and Saturday). Instant book was on (per Airbnb recommendations but I have now turned that off).


Four questions:

1. Would you cancel this booking? (can't see their face picture in the profile, says "two guests, seven kids", local, and booked at 4am)

2. Would you keep instant booking off?

3. In general, do you guys not allow local bookings?

4. What do you recommend as minimum night stay? (we changed it to 3 nights)
