@deimus enjoying a moment with the girls after the fish barbecue
This blog is a follow up to my introduce me post. At that stage in June, we had had 6 guests in our airbnb. We have met such interesting and amazing people in the short time that we have been doing this business.
Our 7th & 8th guests were a couple out from the UK to attend a family wedding. They were lovely to have around and we enjoyed a barbecue with them on one of their days. They wrote "Christine and Jack, we have had a lovely stay in the apartment and could not fault the hospitality that you greeted us with"
We then had a Russian couple with a child. This almost made us give up on hosting. They were not happy with the accommodation and we since realised that they definitely needed their own space - even if they were in a small complete home space they would have been happy. Worst part was that we could not find something else for them in the price range so they ended up taking 2 of the rooms for half of their stay. They stayed for 30 days - so we have changed our profile to maximum 21 days as a result.
During their time here we had our first visitor from San Francisco USA. He loved the apartment and brought his sister who was staying in a nearby hotel to have a look - his review said "I would not expect more from even a 5 star hotel". He was a perfect guest. Also works for Apple and Google - so has a very interesting job.
Next, another visitor from the USA - a lovely young lady, who was joined by a friend from Moscow. They stayed 9 days and 7 days respectively and we really enjoyed their company. They took a day trip to Paphos to see the Tomb of the Kings and a gorgeous restaurant, The Muse with an amazing view and they explored all of the lovely beaches in Limassol, as well as pub crawling one evening going to Breeze, Gwaba and Dolce

Today is their last day and tomorrow we are joining them in Ayia Napa where we have a meeting. They will stay an extra night in Larnaca before flying back home. So I would say that these two young ladies definitely had the time of their lives in Cyprus and are sure to visit again. Trying to get both girls to join Steemit - so watch out for further stories on them.
Interesting time ahead as we have yet another booking from the USA - just three days - and this happens to be a friend who looked after my daughter @edenmichelle whilst she was in the States 3 years ago.
And when the girls leave we have a couple arriving from Moscow who were referred by one of the guests from my last story on the Airbnb who will stay for 7 days whilst finding permanent accommodation. To be continued ...
