I share your pain. I have the same problem researching properties to spend a month in Europe. How do I identify the properties I'm really interested in on my wish list? I write down the hosts name.
Sigh. wish AirBnB admin would spend as much time maturing their listing functionality as they do marketing guests. There would be a lot of happy hosts 🙂
Edited to add: Could you create a wish list for your properties? If so, have the wish list public on your profile or send via email. Have no idea if this would work .. sounds like a good workaround, doesn't it?
