Hi guys, i have been into AirBNB hosting for 6 months already. Overall the experience for hosting are quite good. Just share my experience with no racist or any offend mean.
My apartment is newly built this year and after i done my unit renovation, successfully rent out to our first locals tenants which stay for 4 months. Everything was good and nice after they check out. Well, the tenant broke some of our coffee cups BUT they manage to do replacement for us. Everything was in good condition.
Second, an foreigner stay for 3 days, well, they don't really take care of our house. Wet towel throwing everywhere (we prepared a laundry bag in our apartment), damaged our double bed frame rack stand as suspect they OVERPOWER doing the "THING" during the stay. Also, they dragged their opened luggage during the stay and left 4-5 hard scratch marks on the floor tile. Apartment in mess condition when check out, sofa and armchair moved out of place, never wash any plate or pot after 3 days stay, just throw at the sink.
Third, a group of local youngsters which stay our apartment over the SPARTAN race event. They leave our house very tidy and neat, not even any dirt stain on our apartment floor/wall even they doing the hardcore SPARTAN race on rainy day.
NOW, the fourth, foreigner staying for a months with small children and now only the 5th day, broke my cup, personally switched our shower head without giving notice. (They really brought their own shower head all the way from their country and replace ours). Complained no hot water from the shower. As my wife go to check the house this morning and water heater running good and nothing wrong with it. The guests are from a country that English is not frequent in use, so they cant really read or understand the signage/or how to use the equipment.
YET, more problem to come i suspect....I really prefer to host local guest instead of foreigner...
I wander how did you get a 4 months straight tenant or even a 1 month straight tenant?
