Patience is a virtue. And some Airbnb hosts have enough of it to probably be considered saints. TikToker Michelle B, aka @theflowertruck, went viral after posting a video showing a very interesting set of interactions with a guest who was staying over. And she proved that she’s a kind and helpful hostess, even when her polite guest is having a bit of trouble working out how technology works.
Michelle rents out a big spacious basement unit to tourists, travelers, and locals. However, the apartment has a few quirks that might make staying over a tad difficult for some people. For instance, the fridge doesn’t have a handle, which made that particular guest wonder if it was, in some way, “locked.” However, that’s just the tip of the iceberg: using the stove and getting food delivered was a bit difficult, too. There’s a lot of fun and hilarity in Michelle’s video, so scroll down to check it out, dear Pandas.

When not renting out the basement unit in the building where she lives on Airbnb, Michelle makes people’s day brighter by selling them flowers. She owns and operates the Bluebelle Flower Truck, in the Niagara region in Ontario. She started the business in the spring of 2020 “when the world was in lockdown and everyone started getting back to basics, slowing down and appreciating the simpler things in life.”
“I began a Saturday ritual of driving out to Niagara on the Lake and picking up fresh flowers each week. There was something about having a vase of flowers on my kitchen or coffee table that just brought so much happiness. I would often look at the flowers and be amazed at how such a small vase could instantly transform and brighten the space while bringing such a calming, peaceful aura to my home,” Michelle shares on her website.
“On one of my weekly trips, I decided to purchase flowers and deliver them to the doorsteps of my family and friends, as a surprise. The joy and smiles that the flowers brought is something I will never forget. It was in that moment that everything just clicked and Bluebelle Flower Truck came to life.”
By popular demand, Michelle filmed what her handleless fridge looks like and how it opens

Airbnb has a range of useful tips for guests to help make their stay better. They suggest that you start things off by being transparent about who you are. “Introduce yourself. Share your bio in your profile and verify your identity. Hosts like to know who you are and might be more likely to accept your request,” they write.
If you have any questions, contact the host, have a chat about what’s important to you. Also take the time to look through the property’s photos, descriptions, and reviews: that way you’ll see if the experience is bound to match your expectations. The clearer you are in your communication with the host, the greater the chance that everything will go swimmingly.
“Keep your word. Honor your commitments—including arrival time—and house rules. Be polite. Enjoy the place as if you were staying with friends, and be respectful of the neighbors,” Airbnb advises.
“Live local. Explore the neighborhood and support local businesses—ask your Host about their favorite spots Be cool. Get your Host’s permission before inviting guests over. Reach out. When in doubt, message your Host with questions and concerns.”
Finally, after you leave, make sure to leave a review. And if something went wrong, make sure that your criticism is constructive: that way, the host can make changes and make the experience even better for future guests.
