Just how empty is your life, exactly?

I had a REAL bed and breakfast for 32 years in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Seattle which was DESTROYED by Airbnb. I closed it in 2016. While I was used to (and welcomed) competition I went from having a few dozen bed and breakfasts to over 600 Airbnb units charging way less than me. So glad I got out when I did. The remaining bed and breakfasts are on life support. I can’t imagine selling my soul to Airbnb at this point. It is an absolutely garbage site that has crippled an industry. True small business is suffering because of them. I am surprised there are not more stories like mine out there. Airbnb is great for Airbnb and the guests. I would never recommend hosting for them. No money in it anymore.

However, Airbnb is actively soliciting real bed and breakfasts, small inns and boutique hotels to list with them, because the ragtag collection of individual hosts with dubious accommodations is not a viable way to generate the growth necessary for their plans to go public

Btw what on earth does a professionally run Inn do on an anything-goes rental platform?
