@Miriam665,

I rent my guesthouse in a country outside of the US.  I set up my Airbnb account with my US address and US bank account.  Just note that any bank account will have to be in the name of the Airbnb account holder.  If you want the payouts to go to an offshore account, you will still have to provide a US social security number or Tax ID number.  Payouts to hosts in small or developing countries may take longer to process, because Airbnb uses limited currency types.  So, hosts may have to use intermediary methods, e.g., PayPal, Western Union, and then transfer the funds to their bank accounts.
