I would like to attend or set up a group of fellow Airbnb Hosts in Greensboro NC. There is not a group here that I have been able to see on the Airbnb platform. I have spent some time looking and have not been able to set up an Airbnb sanctioned group even though I know that there are other hosts in the Greensboro area. There is a group in Winston-Salem, but I do not want to drive to winston and I feel that their market is different than Greensboro so joining that group would be less helpful.... though it would likely be more helpful than the current no group we have in Greensboro. If I am having an issue locating a Greensboro group, I feel confident that there are others who are looking for this group of hosts as well. I have applied to start a group at one time on Airbnb, and heard zero response ... unless the response came without notification or email, or text and was in some place on the platform that I rarely or never go.... which is entirely possible since I only go to the travel side of the platform a few times a year when I travel. I have noticed that a lot of the customer support messages require me to read them on the travel side, even when it is dealing with a hosting conversation. This is mildly annoying and Airbnb has received multiple feedback requests about it and I guess has bigger issues to address. I don't know the status of any of the feedback I have submitted because there is no communication from Airbnb of this sort until they release some new update that they want to make public. Some updates happen at night and I only discover an update has occurred when one of my automation is no longer automated and one of my reservations is impacted ... and then my own day is robbed from me because I then have to spend the remainder of the day remediating whatever had been done in secret by Airbnb. Visual check in guides have been deleted or moved to someplace I no longer have access ... auto message didn't sent automatically... Airbnb will surface apologize and continue same same. I just want to meet up with other hosts in my area to see what things they do to make their properties better for their guests. I want to compare notes on solutions and create strategies that make Airbnb better for hosts and guests. I can not depend on Airbnb to fix itself when they don't seem capable of looking at their own corporate reflection in their own corporate mass produced mirror.
