EP154: This Week in the World of Airbnb

Airbnb is learning the art of the deal, and the homesharing platform is all over the news this week for efforts to collaborate with local governments in Latin America, Japanese luxury resorts, and the city of San Francisco.

Jasper is chatting about these partnerships with none other than Hostfully VP of Strategic Partnerships, Nicole Prentice Williams. They explore Airbnb’s proactive approach to compromise with city governments in the growing Latin American market, their deal with Japanese luxury resorts to help boost occupancy, and the $15M agreement to expand their ‘urban campus’ in San Francisco.

They also cover the story of a first-time Airbnb user who was scammed by a phony listing in Amsterdam as well as the details of the registration process for hosts in San Francisco. Listen in to learn about these headlines – and Jasper’s challenging experiences as an Airbnb guest in Moscow and St. Petersburg!
