How are you feeling morale-wise with the company? I've been seeing a lot of negative sentiment around Airbnb as of late, a total transformation compared to what I've seen in years prior.

Before - airbnb is awesome, it's cheaper than hotels and you get a much nicer place.

Today - airbnb is so expensive. Similar price on the surface, but after random hidden feeds the price comes out way more expensive. In addition, there is the whole side of logistics (getting the key), having to take the trash out, do laundry/dishes, etc.

In my experience, the sentiment is kind of justified. Airbnb used to be the cheaper/better option, but it's kind of transformed into the more expensive option for arguably less convenience. Which sucks to say - I loved the original iteration of the service.

I think the sentiment is mostly online (here and Reddit). In “real life”, Airbnb just beat earnings, and I personally know so many people that only use AirBnbs to stay .
