I have joined Airbnb in July 2014 but didn't start hosting until a year later! Absolutely love the concept and quite fascinated by the potential it has offered me to not only get to know people from all over the wold (15 families from 7 countries in my case) but also generating substantial amount of money on the side!
At this point I almost mastered how to check my rates and adjust it accordingly using tools that Airbnb offers, making reservations, accommodating guests from A to Z, following up before and after guest check-ins and check-outs.
I still have concern on what the longevity of Airbnb will be in cities that have penalized or intimidated hosts and hope to be able to put that worry behind. Looking forward to reading more success stories and give and take feedbacks to fellow hosts. The app is amazing but could have some improvements. Checking the website and the app on my iPhone/ipad is part of my daily routine and takes place half dozen times a day.
I am grateful for this opportunity and wish success for all involved.
