Found this image on a blog called CottageMe that has a much better post than mine about the same subject. |
It's not like I'm the only game in town. If they want to pay less there are always plenty of other Airbnbs where they can find a better price. The thing is, they really prefer my place but don't want to pay for nice.
The last time this happened was back in February. A woman from England was looking
to stay for 2 days and wanted me to reduce the price from $70 a night to $65.
I explained that I had already lowered my price to account for the off-season and that the price I was charging for an entire apartment was competitive with what others were charging for private rooms. She decided not to book.
What I found especially irritating about it was this: she's British, paying in pounds. How much was she really saving here? With the dollar worth about $1.60 pounds, she was offering to pay £38.83 instead of £41.82. Big difference.
