How to communicate with Airbnb hosts in English?

Welcome, Li Wei! I have your keys right here. There are three — the front door, the back patio gate, and the garage. Let me walk you through each one.

欢迎，李伟！钥匙在这里。一共三把——前门、后院门和车库的。我给你一个一个说明。

Yes, the gate code is pound-2468-pound. That's the hashtag key, then 2468, then hashtag again. It works for both the car gate and the pedestrian gate.

是的，大门密码是井号-2468-井号。先按井号键，然后2468，再按井号。车辆大门和行人小门都通用。

There's a lockbox on the front porch — just put all three keys inside and scramble the combination. The code to open it is 1234. My office is closed on Sundays, so the lockbox is your best bet.

前廊上有个钥匙盒——把三把钥匙都放进去然后打乱密码。打开密码是1234。我的办公室周日不开门，所以钥匙盒是最好的选择。

Oh, sorry! They actually changed the gate code last week. The new one is pound-3579-pound. Make sure you press each key firmly — the keypad is a bit old and sometimes doesn't register.

啊，抱歉！他们上周刚换了大门密码。新密码是井号-3579-井号。确保每个键按实了——键盘有点旧，有时候按不上。

Yes, that's the one! White house, blue shutters, number 47 on the mailbox. If you're coming from the gate, take the second right and it's the third house on the left.

对，就是那个！白房子、蓝色百叶窗，信箱上写着47号。从大门进来的话，第二个路口右转，左边第三栋。

That lock is a bit tricky. Push the door inward with your shoulder while turning the key — the door frame swells in humid weather. Give it a firm push and turn at the same time.

那个锁有点难开。用肩膀往里推门的同时转钥匙——潮湿天气门框会膨胀。用力推的同时转。
