So, in summary, there's no way to list your property making it available only at the times you want (unavailble by default) so you don't have to worry about it. The solution suggested by Dave only works if you want to unlist your property entirely. This mean that while you're property is listed for future dates that you do want, you have to keep logging in to block out future dates that you don't want, as they become available. Great news for Airbnb, because the more you log in, the more likely you are to buy something; the more places that are listed (even incorrectly), the more people will use the site; and if someone books your place and you have to cancel it (as happened to Malin) they can charge you the cancellation fee. Plus there's probably selling all these metrics of activity (loggins, listings, etc) as evidence of future earning capacity to their shareholders. Meanwhile, we all get annoyed at each other for listing properties incorrectly, rather than at the middleman for setting things up in this most annoying-profitable way possible. Great work Airbnb.
