Hello,

I'm exploring the idea of renting my home in SE22 to holidaymakers in the summer, advertising on Airbnb or someone similar.


But I would really like it to be managed by an agent, who does meet and greet, linen, cleaning etc.


Does anyone know of a company that does this? I have contacted a number of these agents, and no one seems to 'do Dulwich'!


Many thanks!

Hi - I'm afraid I don't but am also considering the same re Airbnb and wondered if any other hosts can advise what they did re their home insurance - our current provider can't cover the scenario and from Googling it, it seems other providers may be similar. Any help much appreciated!

Hello, I've heard that 'Pass the keys' service this area if that's any help. Or you could try Easy Rental Services.

If not you can hire linen via Nestangel.com - they offer one hour time slots for the delivery of bedding & towel bundles. I've not used them before but will be trying them out this summer!

Hope that helps!

Most I've stayed in do have security deposit included but it's not debited from you unless there's damage and even then only if you accept the damage has been done. if you don't accept then it goes through the airbnb resolution centre and they investigate further

I used airbnb to rent my spare room for a while..

I had no prob for little while but my last experience was so bad with the guest and the way airbnb dealt with it that i no longer advertise on their website anymore

I had minor probs with little damages on the propriety in the past but nothing major although think airbnb could have dealt better with it anyway but mainly it was cause of last guest that i decided nit to use them anymore and...never ever again..

My last guest was a "difficult" one...she decided to leave the house the morning after check in without informing me and.. without closing the door ..

she informed airbnb only on a nearly 50 days booking. You could tell she has some issues reading past reviews but i thought it wasn t big deal but it was..

A part from the guest itself , airbnb dealt very badly with the situation...very very badly!

Since than i decided not to advertise my room anymore

i am also looking for other solutions at the moment..

there is anyway plenty of other websites they do pretty much same thing but i have no experience with them yet

holidayletting.co.uk

also booking.com

bedycasa

spareroom

etc

Best with it but i strongly do not recommend airbnb! If things go smoothish no big deal but otherwise they are very bad..

best of luck

      The newly landscaped Dulwich Square

      I had no idea about the sourcing of the paving stones - where is the info on this? The extension of the paved area seems completely unjustified- plus, there is a cycle lane right thru the middle so there are bound to be some near misses with pedestrians.

      That's really awful. There must be someone further up the management chain who could be made aware of this?

      To the thief

      By Sue · Posted

      I'm assuming that anybody who has a cat can afford  its food, litter, vets' fees etc. Nobody was saying that two quid is "nothing", but it's cheaper than some brands of cat litter, so was hopefully useful to the OP. Still, hopefully your post made you feel better 👍 🤣 We still don't know why there was a bag of cat litter at the bus stop! Surely it would be rather difficult to take it away unnoticed if the owner of the cat litter was  also at the bus stop? It's not like someone distracted your attention and picked your pocket and you didn't notice till some time later! But what is also confusing me is, if the OP knows where the thief lives, why don't they go and ask for their cat litter back?

      The market is only there for a few hours on Saturdays! Surely all street markets are "a bit tatty"! That seems a strange reason to close a road permanently to traffic!  There is already at least one seat  in North Cross Road (which seems to be quite well used),  apart from those for customers of The Palmerston,  and several of the shops in the road have greenery outside
