Airbnb Plus Sea view property with no seaview photos taken by airbnb!!!

I'm increasingly disappointed with Airbnb PLUS. My bookings are down substantially. I've lost all control of my photos and they dont deliver the insight into our area and more importantly our USP - SEA VIEWS! The photographs were also taking in winter - it's a seaside cottage with a couple of outdoor shots covered in snow... Also the photo airbnb creative team have chosed is so dull.

I'm considering switchin back to normal but afraid will lose ranking. 

I feel this control makes them appear like the huge listing companies, ie bland and charmless, corporate. It's taking away all what was special with booking an airbnb property. 

Anyone else feel this way? I feel I need to be able to add my own photos to show how great the local attractions are and the best bits of my home.

 just browse through this forum and you will find many disappointed ABB PLUS hosts.  In your shoes, I would quit plus programme and take back control over my listing

Plus has been pretty much slated as a complete turkey. Did you read the reviews on Plus before joining up?
