I have my listing the exact same on both sides, it stays booked almost entirely with Airbnb. In fact I've only had one vRBO booking since I became active. My old listing used to be more 50/50.

I just got a prospective guest that sent me a message with multiple questions that are answered in the listing and stating that they're going to be bringing their pet. I do not have a pet friendly home. The furniture is almost entirely unfriendly and there is nowhere nearby for the pets to relieve themselves. No yard, no nearby park, etc.

I can't decline the person apparently. My options are to either edit my quote or to accept it. And I've just been reading that apparently you get punished for not selecting one of those too. So what do I do? Out of the quote to be $5,000 extra for the dog? Obviously I don't want to do that. I also want to decline because I've been in the business long enough to know the people that message you with 10 questions off the bat that are all answered are going to be a royal pain in the ass especially when some of their questions involve violating the rules you've clearly stated already.

I think I might just take down my entire VRBO listing. One less thing to worry about I guess.

When I first moved to Long Beach I had several experiences with memorial care that were really disappointing. Details don't matter but I'm not interested in going there. So for the last 4 years I've been going to cedars. Obviously an excellent facility, it just made sense since one of the best facilities in the nation is so close. But I am getting tired of the long drive especially for smaller visits that may not require that level of expertise.

I know I'm not alone in being willing to make this drive to an excellent facility given how many of my doctors have other patients from Long Beach.

Where do you all go? Anybody do UCI? Or is it worth it to keep making the drive for the level of quality medical care?
