All of this is really scary and sad. As a Superhost with Airbnb, we've really enjoyed the experience. We've met a variety of people, become friends with many of our guests and even have repeat guests. We're probably not your typical hosts, though, as we interact with our guests quite a bit (making them breakfast most days and often invite them to eat with us) - but not past their comfort level as we respect their need for downtime and privacy. We lay ALL this out in our listing and are very detailed as to who we are and why we chose to do this. However, I was very skeptical of this idea when my SO first proposed this because "strangers in my house, while I sleep?!" Butbits been great - so far. From the viewpoint of a host and a user of Airbnb, I'd also recommend reading the listings very careful. Take note of how many times they've cancelled on a booking. You can also go to Google earth and look at the property and the area. We've had great customer service through AirBnB, though. Just lucky?

Asher - thank you. PM me for my AirBnB listing if you're ever in the Seattle area. 😊

I do agree on the customer service conundrum for Airbnb. I see that a lot with techie startups. One thing, though, their site can be confusing and difficult to use. Sometimes we, along with the guests, have to get creative to accomplish what we need.

A little north of Seattle but yeah, love this area. 😊 We are lucky to have a view of the San Juans and get the most amazing sunsets.

Great! Looking forward to hosting you!

Thank you! You'll love it here. 😊
