Excellent summary. You are correct, airbnb’s “emphasis” on LTR’s is really just a reminder and highlighting it on their home page. My only suggestion, I think they should lower their guest fee % for LTR, because there is a larger rent amount per reservation, and it would be more competitive with local agencies and direct rentals.
