Welcome to another Airbnb Advice Column bonus episode. Hope you enjoy! XOXO - Natalie

Why does Airbnb keep blocking people from booking my place? I call them and they say there is nothing they can do to override it
3:46 - Jill
How important is it to have a guest book at my property? I’ve already had two instances of guests sending me pictures of penises drawn all over the pages, and we keep reminding our cleaners to check it after every stay but they never remember.
5:21 - Tia
Any tips for getting out of an Airbnb algorithm rut? Our views have been dropping and dropping but we haven’t changed anything about our listing, so not sure what caused this
9:50 - Katie
Please settle this debate for us. White vs colored sheets. My husband and I are in a heated debate over this.
12:33 - Yoni
Our CPA has been telling us to hire our kids in the business and pay them a salary which is tax-deductible. He said the job we hire them for has to be “reasonable” in nature and in pay. My kids are only 4 and 6, any suggestions on what I could have them do?
Only 18 days left until Level Up Your Listing Summit, March 11-13th in Scottsdale, AZ! Grab your tickets here before we sell out.
