How do I block dates?

On your listing's edit page, scroll to "Availability calendar" and select the date range you want to block. You can add a reason ("travel," "maintenance," etc.) for your own reference. Blocked dates aren't visible to renters — they just see those dates as unavailable.

You can block individual days, full weeks, or longer ranges. Already-booked dates can't be blocked (you'd need to cancel the rental first, which you should only do in genuine emergencies).
