I found this to be really inaccurate. I've been a host of an Airbnb for a few years. I've slowly moved my price up until I hit the maximum 70£/day. I have hundreds of positive reviews. The price the website suggested was 120£. I then went in to put an obscure address where there is no demand, and the price was $140/day. I've rented a hotel in the area for $30/day.

$30? Where is such a place, Siberia?

    I thought that area was actually pretty popular with outdoorsy people.

      imho its age related. retirees and seniors touring Ashville prefer more private and secure hotel accommodations.

  There are plenty of AirBnB places in fairly touristed places in the developing world for 15-20€/day.

      Using Airbnb, I rented an entire 2 bedroom apartment in downtown Belgrade, Serbia for about 13 days. With fees, the price was $380-ish USD, just under $30/night. It was a really good deal!

      In many countries, in that price range you can find everything. For example, last year on a cycling trip I ended up in an Albanian city on the one weekend a year when all accommodation is fully booked due to a festival. Lucky there was one remaining AirBnB host, and I rented his five-room house for 25€, fees included. He lived elsewhere, I had the whole place to myself (which was total overkill). Most of the other hosts, though unfortunately already booked, were offering rooms or entire spare flats for half that.

  I rented (entire) Airbnb places in Berlin for one year because I was looking for a flat. I used this to scout each part of the city to decide where to look for rentals. I was always traveling during weekends, so I mostly rented during the week. There are top notch AirBnB apartments in Berlin that you can get for as little as 20€ a day.

  A rental pretty much anywhere in Poland will be around that. I've paid as little as $20/day for a nice flat.

"the maximum"? You mean you didn't get much interest above 70£?
