@collectingcasas: The reality of owning a short-term rental isn’t always pretty. 😩 This week’s list: four things to replace/fix. 🖼️ An antique oil painting 🪑 Two high-end coffee tables 🏠 A gutter Thankfully, things could have been so much worse, and we’re grateful for that. But here’s the part people don’t always see… It’s not just the cost of replacing these things. It’s the time, phone calls, ordering, sourcing, scheduling, repairs and hassle that come with things being senselessly damaged. When you put a lot of thought into creating a beautiful home for guests to enjoy, it’s frustrating to see pieces damaged simply because someone wasn’t respectful of the space. So, yes—we’ll replace them. We’ll fix it. We’ll move on. But if you’re thinking about becoming an Airbnb host, just know there’s a side of hosting that doesn’t make it onto Instagram. #airbnbhost #airbnb #part2 #hostlife #behindthescenes

how much you paid for it is less important (basically irrelevant) than the actual resale value because you won't find another one of that same quality for $150 in this market.

There are services that can restore your painting, but it won’t be cheap. Get an estimate and send that charge to the renter.

I’m so angry for you!!! We have a condo in Ft. Walton listed on Airbnb, we had a guest smoke inside for 10 days, it was awful. Airbnb actually covered the damage, we were shocked!

Have an art appraiser value the painting and get an art restoration price. Submit the higher one.

Report them to airbnb … hopefully no one rents to them again & hopefully you have a damage despot to keep

Don’t share how much you paid. It’s the value that matters in these cases. I had an absolutely nightmare experience with Airbnb’s help a few years ago. I really wouldn’t share too much online.

Take the painting into a place that restores paintings. If no pieces are missing, they might be able to restore it. I hope you are documenting everything so you can take the people to court for reimbursement costs for not only the repairs but also for any lost money from having to cancel reservations while the place was being fixed. I am glad that they didn’t damage more. There was another AirB&B owner who had something like $30,000 in damages done to their place.

We had to send photos that were similar w things that were broken and hard to find the correct price. Insurance paid in full once they received photos..good luck.

For the painting, you should have a art restoration specialist look at it and give a price to repair the painting. That's the only solution since it's an antique

It's terrible what happened to you, People have no respect for things that don't belong to them. You look so calm every second and any other person could have gone crazy.
And just another thing, you are so beautiful and look really good in that dress 🥰

Did the arched door end up being okay? It looked like there was some damage to the wood there.

I hate this for you so much! I live in Connersville and love, love following your home! People don’t understand how much these pieces mean to people. I can’t believe they’d do this.

I wish I could say I'm surprised at how disrespectful people are. glad the damage wasn't too extensive, and I hope you're putting a huge fine on them through airbnb or even getting authorities involved
