That sign in the pillar, if I was driving, I would assume applied to the other lane on the left side of the pillar. I think the intent is to make sure you don't turn left if you are in the right lane of the pillar side, and vice versa.

Number of guests below six, I'm really not worried about it. But the number of guests on the reservation should be truthful. It's the situations where a guest brings more than six I am trying to prevent. As a host, being a good ne

> no one should ever rent from you That's harsh. Reality is, I have no issues keeping my place booked. I've maintained a perfect 5.0 / Superhost status so far on Airbnb - and I generally have no issues with guests followin

Well yeah, my neighbors appreciated I restored the house that was otherwise not in good condition. It sat empty for years. It was originally designed as a vacation/second home - and was never a primary residence or fully owner occupied

> it doesn't mean you can't invite more than that number temporarily We just have a fundamental difference of opinion here :) My own rules explicitly state that I do not allow visitors onto my property (exceptions for service p

I don't have to rent it out, but it is a second/vacation home for me. It's highly profitable and it stays booked. So yeah, I'd prefer to keep renting it (and earning money on it) - the rules/protections I've pu

I don't think that, the author states it. Their words - "busted". A reasonable person would not bring a dog to a property where it was already established that dogs are not welcome. What about "no pets" says you can

I had to provide letters of support from my neighbors to the county. I have several house rules - mostly on not exceeding the number of guests in the reservation, providing the names of the guests, acknowledging no visitors, and no loud noi

It's not paranoia. Illegal parties and large gatherings are a huge problem with Airbnb's. Keep in mind - this article is from the guest perspective, we don't have the hosts perspective. But we have an author who admits to be

It's a sad reality. I agree with you though. As an Airbnb host though, it really does take one bad guest to change the dynamics of hosting.

Different perspectives, I guess. I'm on 5+ acres, if a guest brought a pet to my property (not just inside the home) - I'd be annoyed about it because it's clear I do not allow pets (service animals being the exception).

If a guest were to try this at my Airbnb, I have in my house rules that guests may not disable security devices and an onsite inspection will be performed if they do. And that's exactly the type of guest I would immediately terminate t

Ignoring this author for breaking the house rules and thinking he is in the right. The reality is Airbnb's are slowly being regulated away due to both the poor behavior of guests and bad hosts that have allowed guests to remain uncheck

I live in the city and it's extremely common for cars to be broken into and/or stolen because of key fobs. It's a common topic on our FB neighborhood group. We store our keys in a Faraday box by the front door now, instead of

I was on a business trip in a suit years ago and had to take my belt off. By the time I got through, someone took my belt. TSA agents couldn't find it. Didn't have time to do much else besides suck it up. I was flying w/ a su

If you sell software to the government, having a DUNS number is actually a requirement, too. At least to get listed on SAM.gov. You also need a CAGE number. I don't remember it taking me too long to get a DUNS number - and you can defi
