As much as I empathize with everything being said, my experiences staying at AirBonobo/ Vrbo have been >80% small, middle class hosts. A family (multiple siblings in their 60s who lived in adjoining houses) who rented out their deceased parent’s house which shared a backyard with theirs in Utah. A CP railway conductor who used his railroad pay to renovate 3 small properties and maintains them in his time off from work in Minnesota. A semi-retired guy who lives off his rental up the hill from him in Maine. I really think things have gone wrong with the platform since it started (like everything on the internet that’s been around too long). The prices have skyrocketed for what you get. I also grew up in VT and find it hard to imagine ever moving back bc affordability. Other than say essex county, island pond has some affordable houses for sale.
