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£

There was about a week of total chaos, but once I got my home office setup, it was like I was back on the saddle. Having a kid also provides a set schedule - nap time, play time, etc. Those typically happen at the same time every day.
