I'm not sure if the main issue property owners have with Airbnb is their 17% fee, but I might be wrong about that as I'm not in that business myself. Did you do any specific research that indicate that this is one of the main pain points for those who rent out their properties with Airbnb?

Good luck with your project!

Guests are tired of crazy high fees, yes I did extensive market research on this. Even on reddit users are posting about these "high fees"-- and I agree.

The high fees that airbnb guests are complaining about are likely things like cleaning fees imposted by the host - not the company.

Did you speak directly with or survey users and landlords? Reddit doesn’t offer a great deal of confidence as research tool (it’s a start though).

Yes, I am an avid traveler (Nomad) -- I've been to 85 countries and lived in around 30 of those, and Ive relied heavily on airbnb in the past. I did market research for six months.
