@James1277 Uh, no, I don't agree that Airbnb should force hosts to provide breakfast. The day they do that is the day I quit hosting. I don't offer it, nor do my guests expect it. They get coffee or tea. I live in a beach tourist town with hundreds of restaurants and food stands to choose from. My guests aren't the least bit interested in sitting around having breakfast at home- they want to go out for breakfast and hit the beach. If I bought breakfast food, it would end up going bad and being thrown away. For those few guests who prefer to eat in, they have full use of my kitchen and are quite happy with that.
The last kind of advice I want to see Airbnb given is "forcing" hosts to provide this or that. As long as we are clear on what we provide and the guest agrees to that, there's zero problem.
And Airbnb can barely manage their own hosting platform adequately- the last thing they need is to start renting cars or anything else.
As for basing pricing on square footage, that's absurd- my guest room/ bathroom is quite small but well-appointed, cozy and artistically designed and my guests love the space. Why should a huge ugly, boring room be priced higher?
