I've always thought there's room for a startup that's an abstraction layer above AirBNB. Anecdotally, I know 2 or 3 people who do this semi-professionally for their friends. They'll put up the listing, price it, manage contact with guests, handle all the cleaning/key exchange etc in return for a cut of the profits. If you're out of town for a month, the effort of setting up an AirBNB can be enough of a deterrent to keep a place empty for many people but if there was a service to abstract away all the details, it's win-win.
