This week's email is in your inbox.
I'm writing it after three weeks in New Zealand and staying in different Airbnbs.
One check-in took me ten minutes and four messages with the host before I got in. The host did nothing wrong. What was obvious to them wasn't obvious to me.
If you host international guests, or you're a remote host who isn't there at the door, that gap is where the friction lives.
Inside the email: the story of a vertical keypad I'd never seen, the reframe ("obvious" is a local assumption), and a free GPT I built that writes all seven of the messages your guests see across a stay.
Booking confirmation, pre-arrival, check-in, mid-stay, checkout, thank-you, and local favourites.
If it didn't land, check spam or your promotions tab.
One question for the room: what's a check-in instruction you've had to rewrite after a guest asked about it? Drop it below.
