Please, could a native speaker correct and improve this? Thanks in advance.
NAME:Thank you for such a well-written request but at the moment, I am unable to host because I already have plans outside of the city for those dates. [the comma was unnecessary. Another thing I'd like to point out is that, in my opinion, "such a well-written request" almost sounds like you are praising them like a teacher would to a student for a job well done. Maybe "for such a thoughtful request"? Or even "lovely". Those both (thoughtful, lovely) carry a feeling of appreciation for what they've written, whereas "well-written" sounds like you're commenting on their performance/ability to write. I hope that makes sense!]
Usually if I can't host, I try to meet up for a drink but as mentioned above, in this case it/that will not be possible for me. [I'd choose "that" in this case as a native speaker, but I can't tell you why.]
Good luck in your search, and I hope you enjoy your time in Norderstedt. I hope our paths cross again! [this is the best way to write it without repeating "I hope"]
Thank you for your understanding and for considering me as your host.
Regards,
R
(NOMBRE:
Gracias por haberme enviado una solicitud tan bien escrita, pero por el momento no puedo ser tu anfitrión porque ya tengo planes fuera de mi ciudad, para esas fechas.
Por lo general, si no puedo hospedar, trato de reunirme para tomar una cerveza o un café, pero como te dije, en este caso no me será posible.
¡Buena suerte en tu búsqueda, y espero que disfrutes tu tiempo en Norderstedt, así como que nuestros caminos se vuelvan a cruzar de nuevo!.
Gracias por tu comprensión y por haberme considerado como tu anfitrión.
Saludos,
R)

Thank you for such an eloquently written request, but unfortunately, I simply will not be able to host at that time as I have already made plans to be outside of the city on those dates. Typically, if I find myself unable to host for whatever reasons, as a small consolation, I would at least try to meet up with you for a drink. However, given my intended absence from the area, regrettably, even that is not a possibility.
Sadly, the best that I can do now is to wish you “Good luck!” in your search for suitable accommodations. Furthermore, I sincerely hope that you will enjoy your time in Norderstedt, as well as trust that our paths may someday cross again. With the deepest appreciation for your understanding, and in heartfelt gratitude for your consideration of me serving as your host.
Hi, Richie. I think the above conveys everything that you wanted to say in a more concise manner. I hope that this helps you. J.
