Most Airbnbs that I've used aren't someone "sharing their apartment". They're dedicated Airbnb properties. It'd be interesting to see an actual breakdown.

Also, renting a space during a trip was something people were already doing. People were already paying money to stay in a strange place, like a hotel.

As far as I know, the vast majority of people don't currently rent clothing of any kind on a regular basis.
