Houfy (direct booking) Hosts: How are you verifying guests and collecting payment?

[Jon Martin]

Just got my first inquiry . . . . No red flags in the messages, seemed like genuine and polite person. Only alarm bell was the international country code but it's the UK, not Belarus or Nigeria. 

Asked for a photo government ID and payment in full via payment app. Is this enough? Are any of asking for anything else in the way of verification?

Thanks in advance
