Been hosting for a couple of months, About 20 stays. All 5 stars. The Airbnb generated highlights on the listing says “10 recent guests have said that this home was sparkling clean.”
So this morning I get a message and photo from the current guest, who’s been there since Monday, its now Thursday morning, showing bites on her leg. She says she’s researched it and concluded that my place doesn’t have bed bugs but has fleas. (More background…Her profile says that she’s a pharmacist. She had two positive reviews from other hosts. She’s in town for a week long conference.)
She says she’s moving out. (By the way, she mentioned prior to her stay that she has a brother that lives a block or two away)
So 10 min ago I sent her this message:
“I’m so sorry to hear this. I understand your concern. I’ve never had anyone else have express any kind of issue like this but do what you feel you have to do. I’ll look into this further this morning. Again my apologies”
I haven’t contacted Airbnb yet. I thought I would see if you all had any suggestions first…
