I’ve been hosting for a year and nothing bad has happened until today. I noticed a few decorations and toy/board games have gone missing. I’m positive it was this last guest because I take video walkthroughs and I can see the items on the shelf.
I’m going to text the guest if they can check their belongings for the missing items and I can pick them up. (I know they are still in the city for the next few weeks since they said when making the booking.)
Nothing else was bad, though things in the house were moved around and it’s somewhat messy… understandable when they have two kids. But I believe that doesn’t justify taking away items, especially decorations that are in the cupboard or up high on a shelf.
Not sure how the guest will respond, if they cooperate then that’s all good. But just in case, I would like to hear some experience and advice for this kind of situation. Should I just let this go and consider it the cost of doing business? Les than $100 total value I would say.
