Someone ask to see your property before booking?

[Mark Futalan]

Had a guest inquire about staying at our home. They have local friends in the area and asked if they can see the house before booking. No reviews or cover photo. Wants to stay six days. Gut tells me this sounds a little sketchy....

@Mark Futalan - I have 9 furnished rentals in San Francisco and just south, and the minimum stay is 30 days. If a credible guest who wants to stay 3+ months asks to see a place, I will make it happen. I have done this just a few times, and usually they book the place. Last time I showed a place, the guest booked for 6 months. It was WELL worth my time!
