I am AirBNB host with multiple listings. I like the potential of this, but I'm extremely worried about the service based on the number of spelling and grammar errors on the site.

"We love innovations like bitcoin, But unfortunately our payment supplier don’t process bitcoin yet."

Still, I am going to talk with them shortly. I like the idea, and 1% is low enough that it would be well worth the headache since I currently am at about 75% occupancy on my listings, and just getting the cleanings and linens scheduled is a PITA.

Agreed. This reminds me of PG's comments re: founders with accents. While the spelling/grammar errors don't necessarily preclude understanding in this case, they also don't exactly inspire confidence. You guys are clearly talented and onto something here -- but this is a weakness. Luckily, it's one that's easily addressed. Ask a friend or someone in your batch to proofread the copy, pay someone the small amount it would take to have it read nicely for end users, whatever.. just get it done. You'll see a good return on that money.
