Summary

Sean Rakidzich discusses how Airbnb's instant book feature, while intended for easy guest booking, can lead to increased risk of parties and non-ideal guests for hosts. He explains the correlation between instant book, short minimum stays, and the rise of local regulations against Airbnb. Hosts should be aware of the implications of instant book settings and that, while Airbnb states an age minimum, hosts can set a higher age limit in their listing description.
