Technically that says there is no 12pm, but that everyone uses it to mean noon

Probably because at 12:00:01 at noon would be PM.

I think a good compromise would be to use the 12 hour clock, but replace 12 with

By definition you're trying to use, you'd be saying that at precisely noon (12:00:00) it's AM, but at 12:00:01 it's PM

Believe it or not, there is no widely accepted convention for 12am / 12pm

Looks like 12pm = midnight for the US government.

I've reserved multiple AirBNBs in Europe. 12pm is always noon. Always. Besides the fact that no one would check out at

Are you assuming she doesn't understand what 12pm is? It is the same no matter what country you live in. 12 pm is 12 pm

Most countries use the 24 hour clock. Avoids all confusion. 0000 is not 1200

True, but if the guest asked to come in at 12 pm well now, that wouldn't be 24:00.

A lot of countries use 24 hour clocks, so try clarifying that it's 12:00, not 0:00

I don't think she's read the Airbnb website, as she asked me how to check in

And for sure she isn't asking to check in a few hours early. No way that's it.

Airbnb has check-in windows. Plenty of guests ask if they can't check-in later.

she probably thinks you don’t understand English now since she has told you twice exactly what she means
