Happened to see this article the other day.
"While data from short-term rental analytics platform AirDNA shows Airbnb has increased its overall active listings over the past 12 months, travel-news publication Skift reported Airbnb lost nearly 1 in 10 single-property hosts in the 12 months ended March 31, citing data from vacation-rental data provider Transparent. That data shows single-property hosts made up more than 70% of Airbnb’s total host population at the end of the first quarter."

The title says VRBO isn't Airbnb problem but its a good read, and VRBO is successfully attracting Airbnb superhost. I think because host and homeowners try and avoid and manage risk.
The ad with the child jumping around may be in response to VRBO ads that aim to attract families, and whole house rentals. I had one family with a kid about the same age and it sounded like a gymnasium. It was the young dad that was the problem. They left a hard plastic ball and were using the laundry hamper as a basketball hoop, where I found the ball. This ad should be of kid at the beach, doing fun new outdoor activites, at the beach to play, on a boat sightseeing, then crashing out back at the BnB. All my other families were great and went out and did fun things with the kids. And one of the reasons I switched to just hosting couples was the hyper active dad and wild kids using the back apartment as a gym.
