When someone inquires about staying an entire month...

[Ashley Wolfe]

What questions do you ask?  Do you entertain such requests?  Do you have a formula for longer stays to give a discount?  Do you consider doing off-platform transactions when you receive an inquiry from outside Airbnb/HomeAway, etc?

We have only been operating as a short term rental since October/November and just received an email request from a Craigslist ad for staying the entire month of June 2019.

I'm excited about this prospective guest staying so long because we wouldn't have to worry about that month's expenses and we will make some extra money on top of it.  I'm aware of more wear and tear, more expensive utility bills, etc.  I'll even have a more expensive short-term stay insurance policy for their stay.  But I think its better than having a vacant cabin.  Your thoughts, wise ones?
