Love the AIRBNB platform and have years of reliable income.
Smart pricing is a creative way to keep pricing confusing. Support teams have lots of ways to twist up the low returns and point the blame to the host. The touted 25 upgrades "Smart Pricing" is at the top, with no real change.
Why does Smart Pricing miss HOLIDAYS and SEASONS ? The burden is on ALL HOST to go in and monotask each holiday and season. That's not very smart! This new upgrade is the same. Apps by design should be managing task batching. Geography and travel patterns are very clear. Combining the two is a rather elementary task.
When the uptick in passive income is touted and host are abundant easy growth. Every host lost requires 3 host to be gained to show growth. We recently unlisted a very desired property due to "SMART PRICING". This property always ran well below market price. Most educated guest enjoyed the price and property. "Michael Jackson" booked the unit so low in season, with "SMART PRICING" it would have required us to pay for his stay.
