Lay My Hat

Yes, we always find things have gone missing. I've probably posted before about someone who gleefully contacted me after their stay to let me know that they had my scissors in their hand luggage and the airport scanners spotted them so they had to throw them away. They appeared to think this was ver...

Great to see LMH back. Thank you Paolo

Thanks - I just logged on after quite a while and I wanted to know that too.

We also had Germans due to arrive tomorrow for 3 weeks. They emailed yesterday to cancel as they also said the German government had said travel to our area (also Languedoc Roussillon) is not permitted.

If its the same email I received this morning I understood it to only apply if you were supplying goods/services direct to public bodies like hospitals etc. I could be wrong though

...... and how does that work with data protection if you send them guests email info etc.? Fair enough if a guest volunteers to go on a site and enter their email but this sounds like its a way for them to harvest extra emails they wouldn't otherwise have. No Dotty, it's the other way round. Simpl...

. Recently S.O. wrote to me stressing the need to have some guest reviews on our listing with them. Their system is that the owner must ask S.O. to send the guest a 'review request'. This way the owner can be selective. Really? That's one site I won't ever use as a guest then. If they are manipulat...

I use PMP (Promote my place). I have a code that gives us both £10 off if you use it. Its 396405. (Ypu also get a 2 week trial before you have to pay anything so you can see it for yourself) PMP is a template based website. You fill in what you want to in the various boxes, upload photos etc followi...

.....and they are back again. A young woman with an Indian accent claiming to be called Elisabet from Sweden on +46 855921249. Kept loosing her place in the script and repeating whole paragraphs.

I had the same email last week, and have sent them several messages rejecting the change (with well-founded reasons) and had the same experience. I took my listing off-line on Monday when they made the change having just repeated that it was happening several times. Following my message to them on M...

Not much assembly to do as I recall for Ektorp - I think just had to screw on the feet and put the covers on (but it was 11 years ago)

I have 2 Ektorp sofas in the rental. The covers I like aren't available anymore which is a bit of a pain now if I only want/need to replace one, but I have occasionally found replacements on ebay (either new or 2nd hand, but good condition) and snap them up to have a backup set. ..... But at home I ...

Its essential. I wouldn't book anywhere without it. All my guests use it.

I saw this (or something VERY similar) reported on one of the facebook owners groups yesterday, possibly a French one. Sorry, I can't check out where at the moment. Looks like scam to me. ETA: OK, found it. Its exactly the same as yours except that in the one I saw its Franz Keller who works as a fi...

And as we can't even get a ABB photographer in Normandy will this service be available to every owner on ABB? I heard an AirBnB bigwig on the radio this morning puffing this and he said that the inspections will be carried out by their photographers with a checklist, so I guess the answer to that q...
