>Surprised Airbnb doesn’t just do this themselves, though I suspect it might just be a matter of time? Airbnb has gotten a lot of pushback for commoditizing spaces that would have likely been used as long-term rental properties.

This is an attempt to directly capitalize on the prime, long-term rental stock drained by Airbnb's presence without damaging the Airbnb brand.
