In an age of Twitter, smartphones, and self-service kiosks, high-tech but still high-touch customer service is the answer. Today’s customers are a hard bunch to crack. Time-strapped, screen-addicted, value-savvy, and socially engaged, their expectations are tougher than ever for a business to keep up with. They are empowered like never before and expect businesses to respect that sense of empowerment - lashing out at those that don’t. Take heart: Old-fashioned customer service, fully retooled for today’s blistering pace and digitally connected reality, is what you need to build the kind of loyal customer base that allows you to survive - and thrive.

Tired of the pace and noise of life near London and longing for a better place to raise their young children, Mary J. MacLeod and her husband, George, encountered their dream while vacationing on a remote island in the Scottish Hebrides. Enthralled by its windswept beauty, they soon were the proud and startled owners of a near-derelict croft house - a farmer’s stone cottage - on “a small acre” of land. Mary assumed duties as the island’s district nurse.

New Hampshire features Frost's meditations on rural life, love, and death, delivered in the voice of a soft-spoken New Englander. Critics have long marveled at the poet's gift for capturing the speech of the region's natives and his realistic evocations of the area's landscapes. This compilation, first published in 1923, earned Frost the first of his four Pulitzer Prizes and includes several of his best-known poems: "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening", "Nothing Gold Can Stay", and "Fire and Ice".

Could not get past the narrator's accent...I believe he may be from the Netherlands. The little bit I heard was pretty basic, compared to other Airbnb books I've read.

Great for budding airbnb hosts!
This book is a great step by step guide to starting off your airbnb business on the right foot! I will reread it once I am ready to list my first unit to make sure I have covered everything in this book to make sure my airbnb is a success! Only comment I have is the switching back and forth of the dual narrators. Stick with one voice!

Informational and Motivating
Great book on short-term rental hosting.
It was read by the authors and from the beginning it was fascinating.
Jasper had a unique story and has a lot to share about hosting and how it can change your life.
Lots of practical tips without being slow or boring.
Good stories from other hosts as well.
This book can get you more bookings and save you headaches.
I listened in three "sittings". Very interesting and I wish it had been longer. The podcast with the same name continues the story so I'll continue to listen to it.
Thanks for writing Jasper and Huzefa. I appreciate all the updates from version 1.

Valuable info, narration a little annoying
This was a good book. It really gets to the substance for starting an Airbnb business and becoming a super host. It’s got a lot of resources and is definitely worth the read. My only issue with the book was that there are 2 narrators and they alternate every other chapter. One has a bit of an accent and the other doesn’t. Either is fine but the constant switch can be distracting.
