>homeowner's use of Airbnb is more analogous to listing in the "newspaper classifieds" rather than contracting a human broker. Except that AirBnB: - collects money and acts as a financial intermediary - provides some measure of insurance to both sides of the transaction - provides some measure of support before/during/after a stay - more? Basically, it's nothing like a newspaper classified.
