likewise, why is the default number of pets allowed set to 5????
surely it would be wiser to set the default the 1 pet?

some of these default settings are very ANTI-HOST!
and if there's a counter for number of pets allowed, why isn't there a way to charge per pet, per night, like we charge for guests? the way it defaults, someone could bring 5 dogs here for a month and only pay $50 extra for that. I don't do such long stays but that system is anti-host.
