Hi. We are still in our first week and naturally have a lot of questions. But the one concerning pricing is high on our list.
Before we listed our space, we researched others in our area. Both Airbnb and unaffiliated B&Bs. When we compare our price to other prices in context with what we offer, we believe our price to be very fair. But we did notice that Airbnb wants us to price lower. Much lower.
The fact is that if we were to charge what Airbnb suggests, we would not make any profit at all... so we might as well not list.
At least we're not the only ones... But for now, we're going to stick with our own market research and try to ignore what Airbnb tries to tell us to do.
