This is happening in September. If you have a home in or near SF, it's a good time to get out of town and rent out your home. Hotels will be charging $800 per room, and there are lots of non-profit attendees who would love to pay less than that.

Business travelers prefer Airbnb. I know I did - even in Azerbaijan, before there was Airbnb, I figured out a way to stay with a family. All aspects of business benefit from increased trust between cultures.

Homeowners often ask me how to get their property on the top of Airbnb's listings. Here are a few suggestions.

Ooooooh... inspiration

Airbnb is thriving. So are hotels. How is that possible?

please watch. And celebrate today.

The Berkeley City Council will discuss short term rentals next week. Please come to the meeting (June 9th, 7pm) in support of a new era of democratized business. The era was just shaping up to be a good one.

We manage a home for an artist couple in the Richmond Annex. The owners left for two weeks to go explore Cuba, so I'm hoping for a dispatch like this one. In the meantime, this is great reading -- http://www.startribune.com/airbnb-offers-authenticity-an//

Seriously, life is good when you get to open your tent and heart to new folks and when you get to work with awesome hosts and staff...

Thank the Goddess and Ganesh for this lovely property that we now manage. It is walking distance to all the most delicious parts of Berkeley, with it's own backyard oasis: When Craftsman met Beatnik: https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/6361990. Book it now for large groups or smaller groups. Look at that beautiful dining room.

well now, there's something for everyone: https://budandbreakfast.com/. Too funny! We normally have strict no-smoking rules, but if individual owners have all their insurance bases covered and like this idea, then, well, maybe something to think about for the future? What do you think? Let us know in the comments!

Our thoughts are also with everyone who has felt the injustice of racism and how that leads to poverty in every city of America. Baltimore needs our tourist dollars too. So we're going to post not one of our own properties, but a Baltimore one. Looks amazing. Check out the city harbor and take the MARC train to DC, or go on a road trip to civil war battlefields. Every entrepreneur needs support: https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/610956?s=XX_F

Our hearts are with everyone affected by the earthquake in Nepal. In addition to money, displaced people need shelter. Airbnb has activated their disaster response tool (see below). If you know anyone in Nepal, let them know about the site; it could be a useful tool. And after you've sent some money to an NGO and the emergency phase is over, go there! They will need the tourist dollars and Nepal is a fantastic place.

Our newest and cutest property: book it today for a week in the summer and enjoy that hammock in the huge backyard.

One of the biggest Earth Day celebrations in California is this weekend in SF. Stay in the East Bay at one of our vacation homes and take BART back and forth to the city.

this is an interesting read, especially when considering that online visitors of airbnb.com are primarily - 85%! - women, according to alexa.com, as well as vrbo.com and flipkey.com too - 95%! (facebook and twitter too, but not by as astonishing a margin.) http://www.newyorker.com//how-silicon-valley-can-change-it

There was one woman, however, who grasped the idea immediately. She was like: ‘I can stay in a castle? You put castles on this site? That’s amazing,’ Kenny said. She pulled out her laptop and showed me a photo taken at the focus group. A half-dozen young women sat around a conference-room table; five of them were dressed in gray or black. The sixth wore an electric orange sweater. She, of course, was the castle-lover.

We are pleased to announce our newest fabulous property! We're managing it for two lovely retired doctors who are itching to travel.

we're already getting inquiries for the summer. I know, it's crazy, planning so far in advance. But that means you should be thinking about getting your home ready to rent, as well, and bring in some income while you're gone. It makes gallivanting all the more fun. Check out this guide from Home Away to help start thinking about it - see page 8 especially: http://www.homeaway.com//OC/form_widget/HomeAway_eBook.pdf

A great list of ideas: Best places to take kids in the Bay Area. Get out and go on some adventures.

"Insurance company actuaries eat data for breakfast. Airbnb has a lot of it at this point. They ought to share it with the insurers so they can figure out what level of coverage they want to offer and then explain it to the rest of us in plain English."
