Funny, I had an airbnb(I hosted) in nashville's downtown that made that rate look dirt cheap.

Reason?

Outdated zoning laws and hotels were slow to catch up with the tourist industry.

It was crazy watching my nearby competitors(the major hotels) adjust prices like the stock market.....

$1800 a night for the last suite at the sheraton up from $250-500 normally. Bonoroo and Country Music festival held the same week is what I called "Second christmas".

Why did you sell or stop hosting?
I moved.... Plus the hotels caught up as did the housing shortage.

2 massive hotels went up downtown and another third is coming online soon.

Sank my new years and March madness profits.... It was a good run.
