Is it for Air Bed 'n' Breakfast?
There should be an explanation for the name. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:16B8:4671:FA00:B82E:AD94:2D1:A983 ( talk) 04:50, 4 January 2019 (UTC)
If anyone still wants to know: Originally , it was for "Air-bed and breakfast," and the idea was that hosts were actually required to have an air mattress! (not couch space, not a guest room -- an actual air mattress! That was their branding idea, which very very quickly got changed!) and serve breakfast. Obviously, all that has totally changed. Source: a book called The Airbnb Story: How Three ordinary Guys Disrupted an Industry, Made Billions, and Created Plenty of Controversy, by Leigh Gallagher. (Houghton Mifflin) I am fairly new here, so don't want to mess around in a controversial article, but I offer this as a source for anyone who does. I can give page references, just hit me up; I own the book. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.19.250.98 ( talk) 21:24, 17 February 2022 (UTC) Oh, shoot -- I forgot to sign in -- it's me, here Geophiliac ( talk) 21:26, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

A section about regulations imposed by municipalities, states, nations and effects on Airbnb is appropriate for this article. Djflem ( talk) 13:50, 6 December 2019 (UTC)
There is a China section here which just notes that the company has stopped trading there. Not sure that this should be here at all? The closure is rightly mentioned in the history of the company. BaldInLondon ( talk) 20:24, 18 August 2022 (UTC)
This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered. |
Hello! My colleague Jakob (User:JK Airbnb) is currently on paternity leave, so I'd like to submit a request for community consideration in his temporary absence. I've disclosed my conflict of interest and employer above and on my profile page. Currently, the article says, "They put together a website that offered short-term living quarters, breakfast, and a business networking opportunity for those who were unable to book a hotel in the saturated market."
Unless I'm overlooking, the citations 9, 11, or 12 don't mention "business networking opportunities" and this doesn't sound familiar to me either. Unless editors object, I propose changing "quarters, breakfast, and a business networking opportunity for" to "quarters and breakfast for" (eliminating mention of the networking opportunity). Thanks in advance. AK Airbnb ( talk) 23:35, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
Done. Westminster88 ( talk) 10:12, 19 October 2020 (UTC)
While I'm going over that section, I spotted the source: https://medium.com/cs183c-blitzscaling-class-collection/scaling-airbnb-with-brian-chesky-class-18-notes-of-stanford-university-s-cs183c-3fcf75778358 which maybe an unacceptable source. "Medium is a blog hosting service. As a self-published source, it is considered generally unreliable and should be avoided unless the author is a subject-matter expert or the blog is used for uncontroversial self-descriptions. Medium should never be used as a secondary source for living persons." per WP:RSP. Is this guy a subject matter expert of relevance? If not all the contents backed by this source should be removed. Graywalls ( talk) 16:24, 19 October 2020 (UTC)

@ Westminster88: Thank you for reviewing the above request. I'd like to submit another. This COVID-19 response section has two sentences, but the layoff is already mentioned in the History section and information about cancellations due to COVID-19 are mentioned in the Cancellations section. The separate COVID-19 section seems redundant. If editors agree, could someone please update the article on my behalf? Thanks! AK Airbnb ( talk) 23:01, 20 October 2020 (UTC)

Does the regulations by jurisdiction section accurately capture the news regarding NYC's ban? The copy in article seems to be correct, but it doesn't seem like it's been updated recently to reflect the recent law, so I'm a little confused and wondering if I'm missing something. https://www.wired.com/story/airbnb-ban-new-york-city/ Sawitontwitter ( talk) 15:30, 7 September 2023 (UTC)
The sentence currently in the lead gives undue weight to Israeli settlement compared to other controversies. Perhaps the best course of action would be to delete the sentence entirely or mention other controversies as well. Thesmallthings123 ( talk) 16:35, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
