As a Brit, the name makes me giggle :-) (The equivalent US interpretation of how it reads to me being, perhaps, 'airfanny').

I was expecting airbnb but for bums (vagrants).
Thought I was the only one :)
I'm imagining a flying ass, shitting everywhere.
So that just made my day. Sure, now I have Mt. Dew all over my monitor, but I can't stop giggling now.

Thank you.

US here, and I'm laughing at the name too. We did have Tom Green's wonderful Bum Bum Song a few years back, after all.
Wouldn't it be Airbutt/Airass? Or possibly even Airanal.
Oh, I interpreted it as the UberX version of Airbnb. :D
Air ... out of ... bum? And now I am thinking of farts.
I think it's a questionable prod at Japanese pronunciation of "album".
