Recently, we have had a few enquiries about the cottage. We are not doing the quarantine thing so we will not accept visitors from outside the country.
We had one enquiry on Airbnb from someone called Jesus, which immediately made me suspicious. Many people use Airbnb as a way of finding a place to stay, but don't want to actually book through them, so they will send a message, asking for our phone number or email address. Airbnb is very wise to this and block anything that looks like a phone number, email or website address until a booking has been made and paid for.
Jesus looks like he is trying to bypass the system and shortly after he writes, we receive a message from Airbnb, telling us that he has not followed protocol and we should not reply to him.
We are considering letting out the cottage on a short term lease, just for a couple of months, so that we get some sort of income.
