I must admit when Iām away on holiday I donāt care to much about eating that healthy, as I eat very healthy at home. When Iām holiday Iām a binge not so healthy food eater!!
Iād probably have a banana for breakfast then thatās maybe itā¦
How do you cal aibnb? I donāt see a phone number anywhere.
Itās buried, probably deliberatelyā¦Look on the Contact Us link under āurgent.ā Or just google the number.
I finally wised up and put the number in my phone. It seems they change the way to find it - but when I call I get through pretty quickly and get help.

What exactly does one even do in the shower for over an hour?

Very true with a lot of them. Young people Iāve had outside of airbnb over the years havenāt cared nearly as much when something breaks (houses need repairs, thatās life), arenāt spotless (roommate settings), etc. and figure out internet/transit/all that themselves and usually stay out of each otherās business.
I had a 50something year old inquire to rent my room. My profile is set to āreplies in a few days, no same day bookings.ā The older man gives a snarky āyou didnāt reply soon enoughā answer to my reply to him. He wasnāt schedule to arrive for another monthā¦ he really overdid the snark there.

I can beat you all with my shower story. My Chilean cooks who seemed to be doing everything wrong took long showers BEFORE GYM with hair washing. Then an hour later they repeated the same shower. They trained for rollerblading competition so they went to GYM in a morning and at 6 pm they did evening training in a park in 90F outside and same humidity. So after these 2 showers in a morning they took another 2 before and after evening training.
How do you deal with this shower madness.?? You can not really tell people that they shower too much. So we just giggled with my husband every time we heard water running.

@Mearns had the best idea of allā¦ As he, on his private island, is on a rain tank (as am I). He put a timer on the hot water of 4 minutes! Nothing gets that valve shut faster than a blast of cold! LOL!

If that happened here, I would turn off the breaker on my water pump. 
Ooops power must have short circuited!
I get around it by showing them my big water tank when they check in. āThatās the rain tank and is the water supply for the house, and because weāve been in a drought, we have to conserve water and be mindful of conservation.ā Solves most of it easy. No one has ever complained. Itās also in my house rules and listing.
Tell them to go naked in the Irish rain if they love water that much. Sheesh. I would have put a stop to that or turned the water off on them. Thatās just soooooo disrespectful!
Hey, I just hosted an Irish guest. He was darling and charmingā¦but not a big reader or house rules. The brilliant brogue covered a world of missteps.

@kona can you even imagine the convulsions you and I would go through if someone took a 1-hour shower (see Yanaās story) in our places. We would have a coronary seizure!

I think I would turn the pump off at the breaker if it went on longer than 30!
āMillennials that want Hilton stay at Motel 6 rateā
One of the main reasons EVERYONE uses Airbnb, VRBO etc etc is that its cheaper then an equivalent hotel. That is reality. Its possible to get a Hilton at a Travelodge rate by doing some common sense booking tactics.
