I worked as a freelance web designer for about 8 years and I am the host and the guest for 3,5 years, so let's see ... 🙂
What I DO LIKE is the new calendar is finally showing all available nights, even those when check-in or out is not possible. HALLELUJAH!
But, the text bubble "host is not available" for dates when check-in isn't possible could be confusing for guests, especially if the unit has a self-check-in option. Guests will wonder why would they need a host? Instead, It should say "check-in is not possible", simple and clear as that.
-----------------
We got the "CONTACT HOST" button FINALLY ! 🙂 But please make it red to be more prominent. Hosts are constantly getting booking requests while the guest just wants to ask a question but can't find the contact link. That's bad because hosts are penalized when they decline a few requests!
------------------
LOCATION section, the big map is great, but under the map, there is a left column of text with a "read more" button while the right column is empty. Why? Just spread the text to the right column as well and drop the button. Users like to stay on the same page and not wait for another page to load.
--------------------
HOUSE RULES should be displayed more prominently, under listing description and not buried under reviews.
Custom house rules SHOULD NOT BE HIDDEN behind "read more" barely visible link. Guests have no idea there are some custom house rules at all. It is very important for hosts and for guests to read them !!!!
--------------------
HOME HIGHLIGHTS are senseless and useless, it's a waste of space
the same with those little icons of appreciations or however, you call that ( amazing amenities, sparkling clean, outstanding hospitality etc... it's unnecessary kitsch. We have star ratings in 6 categories just above and reviews bellow and that's enough.
-----------
And now please add a PET FEE option !!!!!!!! we are waiting for years. Thank you 🙂
