    The couple really great AirBnB stays I’ve had were for family reunions. So larger than even extended stay hotels are really made for. And they were run by companies, not individual people.

      These have always existed though. AirBnB isn’t an app listing, but offers nothing to that equation. Cabin and event space rentals have been a thing for decades. You don’t see Wedding Venues needing AirBnb you know?

        I think we have different definitions of family reunion. I’m talking about 6-10 people.
