Is it proper to allow an inspection of your home before booking?

No, no, no AbujaHostess … please don’t waste your time.
These people will come into your place nitpicking and fussing,
and either ask for discounts or for you to re-arrange the furniture or re-paint the walls.
Possibly you will never hear from them ever again, after all your hard work making your place look nice and welcoming them.
If your great photos, and all information are already up and available on airbnb then that is enough for 98% of regular guests.
Only saying this, as I have wasted time and energy on guests who want ’ to visit’ first -
but it’s always turned out they are checking my place out, but have no intention of making a real booking,
or are looking for an excuse to a family member / employer not to book a place that doesn’t suit them.
