Hey I’m referring to my cousin Dan not Nicholas. Are you saying Dan was an irritating guest? He has no previous review and you gave him a good review. He is not that bad guy!. But he IS Chinese! Was he a bad Chinese guest?
Agreed about leaving out the fraud thing.
I see no reason not to be mention the number of days of the stay. That way one can avoid language like “more than 24 hours after check-in”.
Personally I think that mentioning that it was more than 24 hours after the beginning of this day indicates that it wasn’t really a problem but the guest is making it into something bigger than what it really was to them. But I see your point too because to some of the reading the review it’s definitely going to sound unreasonable when you say that the guests mentioned nothing over a however long that was.
Pregnancy is normal human state, the over medicalisation and fear mongering have made women less confident about their ability to carry a pregnancy to term and have a healthy baby. Somehow we managed for thousands of years to successfully reproduce. It’s quite safe to fly when pregnant, just not a good idea to do so at term as you may give birth in a unplanned location. It’s also safe for female air crew to fly when pregnant.
I worked with fellow nurses at a very busy emergency trauma unit, many worked right up til due date.

Oh my bad. I assumed you were talking about “N”. Dan and his family were wonderful. They just left 2 days ago.
I always thought it was safe up until the end, however you can see there’s lots of different opinions on this thread. No idea which is right, would prefer not to have to adjudicate. Airbnb made their decision, I accepted it and moved on.
Yes that is what I am saying my air hostess friends told me. They particularly had concerns about the hearing loss, radiation and the swelling and then contraction of your organs and impact on these. I was not aware until they raised it that it was a significant issue. My ex is an airline captain and he never raised any concerns, not to say his brain function wasn’t disturbed though he he. Not to suggest that the dailymail is the source of any respectable advice, especially not medical, but this article gives you a good overview of some of the problems associated from frequent flying:
here is a paper published on pubmed, a bit more reputable than the Daily Mail, which sadly is the source of a lot of misinformation. Author of this paper was head of MotherRisk, Hosptial for Sick Childrn Toronto, specialists in safety during pregnancy.

With all due respect, as a current airline captain, I’d have to disagree.
We regularly have cabin crew flying while pregnant and have never had an issue.
Yes, don’t fly when you’re about to pop it out.
I intend to spend a 50 year career in the sky and I’m not to concerned about my body collapsing around me.

Wow! I’m impressed! What do you fly?
Kudos to you, I do hope so, it might be all scare mongering, like I said, its just what I have been told with respect to those in the air for their career. Flying as a passenger when pregnant there are some pretty strict rules in Aus. Im also not worried one diet coke a week might give me cancer but there’s a whole bunch of people who will tell me otherwise! Stress is more likely to be the killer of most of us so as long as you are doing something you love (and it just happens to be a super cool job) go for it! 
I am only lucky enough to fly about 4 times a year but in my 35 years of travelling on planes I have never seen a pregnant air hostess (you can usually tell as they are super skinny and wear tight uniforms on most airlines) but heh good luck to them to. As long as I get my nice plane food and beverages and a blankie Im happy.
This is a small piece of a clear trend to favor guests over hosts that has completely enveloped the company over the past year.

I had a similar experience with a guest (AMERICAN) who lied and got a full refund! Then AirBnB notified me they would deduct ALL of it from my future bookings. I said no you wont and unlisted my B and B. Despite numerous arguments with AirBnB, photos, and accurate information, they accepted the guest’s explanation and rejected mine. A year later I got a call from them (after some bad news stories about a similar problem) and said they were reversing their decision and that they would not deduct future bookings. So I relisted. They tend to believe all guests, including liars, because guests give them more profits than hosts. But maybe they are now rethinking about their image. Imagine providing evidence that the guest lied and still giving a refund! Truly despicable. (Luckily this was the only really bad experience I have had with them; the other one was not so bad and involved a woman booking for her mother. She paid in full and then cancelled, saying her mother’s needs “had changed”, without specifying just what her new needs were and why my place didnt fit them. I found the excuse flimsy and vague. It turned out her mother was coming with a health aide because she suffered epilepsy. Had she told me this up front I would have agreed to a full refund without question. But she concealed it and therefore aroused my suspicions. However, this does raise the issue of guests who have conditions that might present a problem. One hates to pry into peoples’ health of course. So I make a point of asking prospective guests if they have any special needs that I need to know about when hosting them. This doesnt guarantee they wlll tell you everything but it lets them know you are being watchful. I suspect an epileptic would have to tell the hosts about her problem when they ask about “special needs”.
