I get the most out of my experience when everything is sunshine and rainbows.
Problem is, being spontaneous (short notice) makes it
really difficult on the Provider to be able to manage her time. She doesn't want to be sitting around all day doing nothing for hours at a time. Knowing when someone is arriving also allows her proper time to prepare (be freshly showered, rested, etc). It allows her to schedule her personal life into it (I've got nothing on Mon afternoon, cool, that's when I'll get my hair cut..) And people that pre-book don't flake out as often as "short-notice" people who say they are coming (and then often never do preventing her from taking a legitimate apt and hurting her (causing loss of income))
