“I’m sure the #VRBO – Airbnb host pockets the cleaning fee – is that legal? We’re paying an Airbnb cleaning charge besides the nightly rate for our short-stay on every booking. I don’t know if there is a caretaker or housekeeper or if the Airbnb host pockets the cleaning fee.”
Angela Brown, The House Cleaning Guru talks about the #Airbnb Living Wage Promise for turnover services. “If the Airbnb host pockets the cleaning fee it’s because they’ve earned it.” Home sharing comes at a price.
