Aloha Kenneth and Lilia,
Part of my frustration is that I am so far down the listings that I'm not even getting any views; people are not even looking at my space - is this happening to you as well?
I keep re-visiting my pricing to see if I should lower, but am not willing to give away 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms for any cheaper than my lowest price point. It does get tempting to lower and lower the rates, but then the quality of the guests suffer! The average hotel rate in Honolulu is about $250-$300/night, so a whole house for $170-180 with 15% taxes included is a pretty aweome deal!
I agree that Airbnb fees are quite steep and I have stayed in hotels in NYC and San Francsico as they were cheaper than airbnb's. Otherwise I always use Airbnb for my stays.
BTW, Which graphs are you referring to? Is that the views on your own listing or is there another graph I could look at?
Mahalo for your time,
Alison
