We will have important items in a safe, and put a lock on our storage door downstairs, and then we can put anything we need to in that room, no we won't be changing the locks on the doors, we are assuming the best in people. Maybe that is completely naive....
My cousin has been using AirBnB for a year now and they have hosted a room in their house while they are there and they have rented that room at least a 50 times and they haven't had 1 bad experience, not that it couldn't happen, but they have been really happy with it so far.
I am excited about the prospect, I hope to rent it at least one more time in March.
I have already had people wanting to book it for June, but I am not scheduling out that far. In our area we don't have any close hotels and we are only maybe 1 of 3 in our town to be listed on AirBnb.
I will let you know how it goes, there is a bit of prep on my end, I am cleaning and decluttering, but that needed to happen anyways, holidays got the best of us :)
