The professionalization of the peer-to-peer space is getting incredibly interesting. Hotels must be realizing that hosts are starting to offer places that are essentially like hotels... only with much more diversity, many more locations, more unique features. Tools like this are definitely driving some interesting changes in the space.

Yeah, very cool to see tools like this coming to peer-to-peer hosts.

And, I remember a few years back, when peer-to-peer accommodations were considered a novelty.

Now, it's pretty clear that I will probably spend most of my future trips renting someone's home, as opposed to a hotel. Hotels must be shaking...

Hotels realized that very early on in AirBnB's operations, which is why they complained about the conflict between what AirBnB and its users do and the laws governing hotel-like operations.
