Concierge as a Service for Airbnb Guests on behalf of Hosts

Wait. Did I read this correctly? You are an airbnb host and you find “concierge” services to be time consuming. Yet, you are trying to develop a new service that would provide these services on behalf of hosts?

If you don’t want to bother with sharing your own knowledge with guests, then how in the world do you have the time to develop a service that does this better than a local?

There were a lot of things about my area that I had no knowledge of…and I mean a lot. I, of course knew of the major attractions, etc. But not until I would ask guests if they had any questions about the area, did I begin to learn things about my own area that I never thought of.

Now I feel good about being knowledgeable. For example - a guest asks if I have any recommendations for Easter brunch. Well…no…not really as I am too frugal to pay brunch prices for a plate of food. But I did find out the options in my small town and maybe next year will research again so I can send out the different options for next year’s Easter guests.

Edited to add: And it’s not the same as the guest googling where to have Easter brunch in my area. Because, even if I didn’t know the restaurant served it (some years they don’t) - I still have more intimate knowledge of the restaurant’s change in management and reputation. Then again…I live in a small town and this may be different for a big city.
