No. You can't search for exact addresses, it will just show you available listings in the area. In my area, New York City, when I search my address I get hundreds of results. Beyond this there is the additional complicating factor of current availability. If it's only on AirBnB occasionally, no longer on AirBnB, or booked, it wouldn't appear using this method.

If I search my address, it puts a pin on the map exactly where my address is. I can then look for addresses that are very close to the pin. As far as I know, those locations are pretty accurate. If you don't include a date in your search, I'm not sure why availability would be an issue. If it's no longer on AirBnB, then I'm not really sure what the problem is. Can you add and remove listings from the search, while still keeping your ratings?

In my experience they are often off by multiple blocks. YMMV. > If you don't include a date in your search, I'm not sure why availability would be an issue.

One problem is, for instance, if you are a landlord/neighbor who is trying to prove that your tenant/neighbor broke the lease agreement. > Can you add and remove listings from the search, while still keeping your ratings? Yes. Beyond all of this, it's a somewhat laborious process even if it did fully work the way you described, and for a landlord who owns many properties monitoring could be a significant expense. This is the definition of a negative externality.

    Maybe we should build a tool that makes this easier for landlords.
