Split stays? I don't understand how that changes anything... isn't that just bundling to stays and packaging it under one reservation?
Or is it that you can get shorter stays under the minimum number of days required to rent from a place? If so isn't that just pushing the cost to the home owner who now has to pay for the turn over service?
Airbnb -- super interesting company, great business model out of the gate -- as we start to get to the mass adoption stage the prices keep getting silly and the quality outside of the core offerings kind of slips. I don't see how they continue to keep growth going without some major sacrifices.
- ramimac 5y agoI see the value just from a search perspective -- take as an example: * I'm looking to stay 8 days in Paris in fairly peak season * There is no good availability for a single Airbnb for 8 days * This lets me see good matches of "3 in spot one, 5 in spot two" as well as "4 and 4" etc. without needing to do a lot of filtering by availability and digging into individual listings
- boringg 5y agoGot it - that makes a lot more sense. Instead of having to try and piece meal it yourself they give you great options. Actually now that you have clarified it -- it sounds pretty great once I test the functionality!
- numtel 5y agoI'm guessing that it's so that when you search for a long duration of stay, many of the listings will be unavailable but with split stays they can make it easier to figure out how to plan a longer stay, so you don't have to look at the availability calendars of a bunch of different listings.
