Totally agree.
I have posted numerous times about the fees Airbnb are charging, which in my opinion are far too high and unjustified relative to the risk Airbnb are taking.
I only posted recently on this topic, where I gave a detailed breakdown of my cost for a two day stay in my 55m2 apartment which showed that in fact Airbnb made more money before taxes on the transaction then I did.
Rather disparagingly a Host who shall remain anonymous, suggested to me that it was up to me to get a handle on my cost, and that I really should not have included my fixed cost in the equation in other words I should not have included a proportionate cost of my mortgage.
Basically, I made zl50 (euro 10.70, $12.72) and Airbnb made zl56 (euros 12.13, $14.41) for a two day stay and smart pricing want me to go lower.
If you compare Airbnb's fees against your profit you quickly realise they are not low at all.
Thanks for the post, it will be buried fast.
