I'm 48 years old and my partner has Parkinson's (aged 55). We live in his native country because healthcare is affordable and good. He was diagnosed at 40. In the last 9 months he's devolved quickly. Last night I woke up to him peeing in the bedroom trashcan (and all over the floor) . I put my contacts in (getting my prescription fixed but who has the time?) and then I found him wandering around carrying scissors.

He lost his license a month ago and his Dr is good so this is a quick decline. He's still highly mobile.

How do I deal with this? He's definitely knowing what's going on when awake, but I'm truly losing it. I finally got him to let me call his Dr back after this....I think he's suddenly hallucinating. Money is no (at least not a big) issue since we have free healthcare. What do I ask for from the people who are with disability services?

I rent out my extra rooms in my house year round. I have the whole house available but that is only ever taken for graduation and football games.

My guest from graduation checked out today.

My checkout instructions are wash anything you used that has touched shellfish since I'm allergic. Make sure the wet towels are in one of the baskets in one of the bedrooms or in a bathroom so that my wood floors aren't destroyed. Lock the door behind you.

I do all of my own cleaning

I got back to my house and they had washed all the towels, stripped all the beds, taken out all the trash and washed every dish and run the dishwasher. In addition they had bought me flowers to thank me for staying in my house.

I know my market is unique because it is not a vacation destination and it is only going to be booked for things in regards to the university but sometimes doing this really makes you happy. I have had so many amazing guests just rent a single room for a while here like the Fulbright scholar from Greece who I now consider part of my family and will visit next time I'm nearby but I would love other people to share stories of amazing guests

I know I've seen the answer to this on here before but when you rate a guest with high for cleanliness following rules and communication but you don't want them back does the guest see that or the comment about why?

I just had a guest who asked the dumbest questions like I couldn't even understand what the questions were. I looked and saw that the only language she speaks is English so I know it's not a language barrier. She asked me the first question "do I pull in?" Another was quote where is the door?" The first question made absolutely no sense and I don't know how to explain where a door is that is plain as view in the front of my house. And the questions like these kept going and going and going. She couldn't find the lock box even though my check-in instructions say it is attached to the railing right by my front door. It was so bizarre but it took 2 hours of answering these questions and it's just not the kind of person I would recommend to other people because she's so needy. I want to put this in there but I don't want her to know

I just got a three-star review. Five for cleanliness five for communication five for accuracy. Four for location which that is subjective so it shouldn't be counted anyway and I can see maybe they saw in the map where it was and then it was too near a road they could hear something I don't know. But my place is definitely in town but a three-for-value. They know what they're paying when they get it and everything else is good why are they writing three stars on value. And my room is pretty cheap. I know this isn't something I can get removed because it doesn't go against any terms but I don't understand how this is allowed to occur

I keep meaning to ask this here but I am wondering how you comment on people. For example Mary and her partner Mary and her friend Mary and her guest. I don't want to expose other people's names but I don't want to like missed you a relationship of some sort. When it's a big group I definitely do Mary and her group but I mean for a two person booking

I see everybody here complaining constantly that they aren't getting a lot of bookings or that if you charge too little you get crappy guests. I am not having anything but wonderful guests but my place is booking constantly. I just had somebody rent out a room for 3 months who was wonderful. This fall both of my extra rooms are rented for the entire semester. I am not worried about people overstaying as one as a visiting professor and the other is a graduate student who is leaving because he's graduating in december. And honestly it's a hell of a lot easier to not have to turn the place over constantly. But in the meantime I am still getting a ton of one and two night bookings. So how do I know that I'm charging too little if I'm still getting great guests and I'm staying constantly full?
