In my opinion, if one does not control turnover/Cash of a business your not running your own business full stop, Airbnb takes circa 20% of your turnover for this crap.
While i think the STR business is a great idea its being completely mismanaged for the benefits
of Airbnb, hosts while owning and managing the primary assets of this business, are treated like indentured servants.
I pulled my listing about two years ago and I've made considerable more money on long term rental then I did in my year and half experiment with Airbnb with considerably less work.
The cynics amongst us and I've only come across one will lecture us on the ruthlessness of business while completely ignoring the fact that laws have been enacted to make business a level playing field, Airbnb is not a level playing field and its exploiting hosts at every opportunity, a quick read of the terms and condition are all that is required too form this view.
One contributor stands out for his obvious professional experience in the hospital field and his cogent, concise and practical advice in this community Andrew is the person I'm referring too and he has a very dim view of the review process as do I, its a whip to beat our own back with.
So inconclusion I wish you well and remember there are many more opportunities out in the big wide world and I can for see a time and it won't be long when host start leaving Airbnb in droves.
I suggest that Brian Chesky step down as CEO and Head of community as Airbnb needs a new broom fast.
