As a host with 2-3 listings under 1 roof, the calendar is super weak. I put a lot of time and energy into Airbnb like I would any other job. The calender is frustating, underpowered, ineffeicent and creates missed opportunites for maximizing revenue.
For example:
I have a 3 night mininum but as those dates fill up I might want to create a 1 or 2 night minimum to maximize available space. This is not possible to do "on the fly" while looking at the calendar/dates you want to edit. You have to open a new page with AVAILABILTY SETTINGS and then review a list of calendar edits you have already made to figure out your next step. At this point, I am trying to recall the specific dates I want to edit and, to be sure, must go back to the calendar to reference which dates.
Now multiply this by 3 and it gets really confusing and time consuming.
2 ideas for solutions:
Make either AVAILABILTY SETTINGS or the CALENDAR a pop-up window that opens within the page so you dont lose the place where you were working.
OR
Give more functions inside the individaul day/box that allows me to edit the calendar "on the fly" without ever having to leave it. Just like I can drag across 3 days to block them, let me drag across 3 days and let me edit the minimum a 1 or 2 night stay.
Suggestion: Enable me to color code blocks of days with the minimum requirement so I know I already have rules in place.
The calendar could be so much more of a powerful tool!!!
