17 and 18 year old guests :)

My location is in a middle of nowhere - in PA woods. I get 75% of guests coming for a romantic get away because of my fireplace and unique setting, also guests like a lot my rain huge shower for 2 people :slight_smile: with SPA bathroom. I have no blazing Internet speed, no TVā€¦

Helsi at that age where Iā€™m from in UK thereā€™s a chance theyā€™d be bringing their kids with them as well :stuck_out_tongue:

At that age I went on my first holiday with my 18yr old boyfriend and stayed in a B&B in Blackpool UK.

Are all those places they mentioned nearby?

@Marina

Iā€™m with you. Experience in hosting makes us more discerning about potential guests.

Although the 17-yr. old sounds mature and on her way to becoming a commendable adult, I would prefer to wait until she is.

Longwood gardens are 40 min of driving from us. Lancaster,PA is 25 min of driving North of here. Another places I do not know.

I know, some ladies have children in this age. But who wants those ladies at your Airbnb? Maybe not even high school graduatesā€¦

At that age I got accepted into Chelyabianian university and was studying seriously to get my BS in Biology and Chemistry. No way that my parents would let me have a vacation with a boyfriend.

LOL! This reminds me of that urban myth/joke about a banner spotted on a local roundabout in Manchester that read ā€œHappy 30th, Nanna!ā€

Iā€™ve hosted lots of 18-20 year olds, one was 17 when she arrived and had her birthday here. Theyā€™ve all been fine, no better or worse than other age groups. But yes, hosts have to do what is comfortable for them.

Absolutely.

Agreed.

But I just donā€™t know what age this happens at. 100% of my youngest guests have been great. 5% of my older guests leave something to be desired. So based on my experienceā€¦

My mother got married just before her 17th birthday and had my sister 8 months later. (1944). I moved out of the house the first time just before my 18th birthday and again, permanently, when I was 19 so Iā€™m biased.

Ha, exactly! It never happens for some people. For their entire lives they behave like petulant toddlers who believe the whole world revolves around them. I too like my young guests generally. The fact that they are confident about travelling at that age and mature enough to engage in good communication is enough for me. Plus they are far more au fait with the concept of Airbnb usually.
