Remember back before Airbnb when this was just a free thing called couch surfing?
i mean couch surfing is guest and host being there and interacting with each other.
AirBnB is getting the flat for yourself for the time you rent it.
That's exactly how airBnB started though. Then they moved to renting out the whole place and now we are where we are.
