How many of you are building your own websites

We're working on one but don't expect it to outperform ABB or HA. We're doing it more for local bookings and as a "business card". We'll advertise on local channels like CL, FB, etc. and link to our site.

I have every single Airbnb Guests email address. A few days before checkin I send them a text saying’

“Hi XXX, I’m trying to send you some additional information about the rental but Airbnb’s email filter seems to be blocking it. Would you mind sharing your email address with me so that I can try sending it direct? I’m sorry for the inconvenience!”

Never had a complaint or issue.
