However, I cannot guarantee an early check-in. I am GENERALLY ok with early check-in, as long as: (1) I get confirmation from cleaning crew the unit is ready, and (2) Before I send entry instructions, I respectfully request that we have the following mutual understanding : I am giving you entry instructions early to do my best to accommodate you and be as good of a host as I can, and in return - all I ask is that if you go in and something is not to your satisfaction, you please IMMEDIATELY Let me know what needs attention so I can quickly resolve any concerns you may have I want us to be on the same page - if something needs attention, you will promptly communicate your concerns to me and give me the opportunity to take care of it before resorting to calling Airbnb and complaining etc I don’t want there to be any unresolved issues and I want you to be satisfied with your stay - from the beginning! ---------------------- (3) The full names of ALL GUESTS staying on the property must be provided to the host PRIOR to check-in. ---------------------- (4) STRICT CANCELLATION POLICY: The following excerpt is Airbnb’s word-for-word definition/explanation of its STRICT Cancellation Policy: "Full refund for cancellations made within 48 hours of booking, if the check-in date is at least 14 days away. 50% refund for cancellations made at least 7 days before check-in.

To be clear - the Host is not holding any of your money! ---------------------- (7) EXTRA GUEST FEES: At the time of booking, please make sure to enter the correct # of guests that you anticipate attending in the "# of guests" field on Airbnb, as the # of guests affects the rental cost. If you are entirely sure of the # of guests, enter the # of confirmed guests, as you can always increase the # of guests later. ***Please note that the rate/cost of this booking will INCREASE if you have more guests attend the rental than the # you enter in the "# of guests" field on Airbnb at the time of the booking.*** If you have less guests attend than the original # you enter at the time of the booking, the rate will NOT decrease.

I have to list default check out time on the Airbnb site as 12pm because sometimes I have new incoming Guests arriving the same day, and I need those critical hours to clean the house and prep it for the new Guests before they arrive. If there is no time pressure situation as is described above, I will do my best to accommodate all requests for late check out. ---------------------- (13) PLANNING ACTIVITIES FOR YOUR STAY IN NEW ORLEANS: LIVE MUSIC CALENDAR: www.wwoz. org/livewire SECOND LINE SCHEDULE: http://www.wwoz. org/new-orleans-community/inthestreet WHATS GOING ON IN THE CITY THAT WEEKEND: www.bestofneworleans. com If you want to have a seafood boil or some sort of cajun/creole catering done at the house, let me know and I will gladly put you in touch with my Cajun best friend hunting/fishing buddy who owns several restaurants in New Orleans and regularly caters for my vacation renters.
