Last night we experienced a small disappointment. A guest cancelled the reservation she made via AirBnB for eleven nights in August. 

Since the reservation, we no longer had to think of some imaginary guest. No, we were decorating the room for an anticipated real person! We were telling our selves that a booking only becomes "real" once the guests arrive. Nevertheless, we did feel slightly disappointed when the news arrived. 

Hey, it's all in the game.

Then what happened? Our listing at Hostelworld got published this morning. Just a few hours later, we received an SMS with a confirmed booking for the first half of July. Hurray, a real booking! Reason enough to open a sparkly bottle at diner time.

Update 2011-06-18: And another booking today! A stay of one night in July. For your information: we're still available on the first of July, the opening night. After that: Fully Booked. Well almost, and only in July :-)
