Doing it yourself

Hosting is a second job

The listing is the easy part. A week of running it in Hamilton looks more like this.

  1. 11:40 pm

    A guest cannot find the key. Your phone is the front desk.

  2. 6:15 am

    Checkout at eleven, the next guests at three, and the cleaner has cancelled.

  3. Tuesday

    The long weekend is priced like any other night. Somebody books it in an hour.

  4. Thursday

    Airbnb and Booking.com both took the same Saturday.

  5. Saturday

    Out of toilet paper, coffee and clean towels, in that order.

  6. Month end

    Which booking paid what, after whose fees, and what is actually left?
