Summary

James Svetec argues that a bad economy can actually be good for Airbnb hosts. People tend to take more 'staycations' and prioritize accommodation with full kitchens, yards, or other amenities during economic downturns. STRs can accommodate larger groups more comfortably, which further drives demand as many families seek affordable alternatives to multiple hotel rooms.
