This may help. I have just taken our apartment off the listing sites as it looks as if this will be the end of private renting. What a shame.

My bookings have been falling off over the last year since OD started fiddling with everything and since the 'upgrade' I have only had one enquiry.

I think weekends are the worst as I had a call from a lady last Saurday lunchtime to ask if I had availability as she hadn't had an answer to her enquiry sent via OD earlier on Saturday. Her enquiry was eventually forwarded to me with three other enquiries in a batch - all arrived at 05.00 on Sunday...

Owners Direct discount code

I have tried to renew subscription with this code but it is invalid so I think this must be for new advertisers only.

Best payment method for French guests

Thanks again. I have just called PAYPAL and they have said that as my Spanish bank account is linked to my UK address (which it is as I am in UK and not living in Spain) then I can't have a Spanish PAYPAL account. I would have to open a UK account & have it converted to Sterling. So, back to squ...

Best payment method for French guests

Following my earlier post, thanks for your helpful suggestions but sadly these won't work in my case. The French guests live on an island which doesn't have a bank and so he can't go into a branch to do an IBAN euro transfer. Someone on this forum mentioned that French banks want a lot more informat...

They called last night to ask me if they could go next week from Monday 19th - Monday 26th instead as they had the option of re-booking their flight. I said that I had ...
