Something has definitely changed. Can't figure out what.
I also had far more bookings and views last year.
I was booked solid June, July and August last year, in fact I had to turn people away, and this year it's less than 50% for June, and July and August are less than 10%. For a while my listing disappeared for June, July and August - a glitch according to Airbnb, but it was there for September and October, and rest of year - odd!
There are not that many new listings in my area and even the sleaziest of hotels is a good USD$70 more per night more than my listing. I am not a SH,my building is old and the hallway shabby, but I am still overall 4.5 stars with great reviews.
