Me too; adults sleep in it - it is very sturdy

How about a sliding door?

Interesting, I never contact the guests unless they contact me. If I was the guest I'd find it intrusive

Guests who unplug the power socket extention bars in the bedrooms and disconnect all the clock radios, because they need to charge their iphone, laptop, tablet, etc directly from the mains socket. I don't quite get this, why do they have to use the mains socket rather than the extension lead? It se...

I have used Belvilla for 5 years. My experience is similar. They treat homeowners as an inconvenience not a customer, they take ages to reply (and then the replies are often nonsense) the local agent might as well not be there and since they started using Booking.com I get loads of guests that just ...

I asked the tax office and was told that replacement windows is Box 6 (Repairs) and replacement furniture is box 32 (Annual Investment Allowance) on SA105

I took one out in January (it was requested), it was still in the box, unused at Easter, hey ho

That's a better idea. So I'll send the booking confirmation and T&C with payment and then the useful information 7-10 days before. Not sure whether to send both as PDF and hard copy or whether in this mainly paperless age it's acceptable just to send stuff by email. Jen I know this is just a tr...

Thanks guys I think as they have said they 'want to book - how do they proceed...' that I would now expect a booking form to be sent through (if I was the guest). Alvaro - if you could send me through your T&Cs that would be great - I can adjust as necessary. I can always improve going forward ...

hilarious!

My Austrian bank warns clearly that while you can enter a name and address only the IBAN and BIC codes will be used to transfer the payment
