OOOOh! Is he teaming up with Elon Musk and setting up an Airbnb habitat on Mars?? Can I go?? 😉

[Lizzie]

Hehe - I like your suggestion @Robert78. I wonder what the listings would look like on Mars??

The excitement is building...only 30 minutes to go!

Who's going to tune-in to watch?

[Robert78]

Yep, I don't have FB, so waiting for your post...

[Lizzie]

Aww, no problem. I will share it as soon as I have it. Then you will be able to watch it on repeat if you wish! 🙂

I can't watch on my iPad- no flash. 

Also, I have not seen any addressing of legal issues. I would rather have had a short discussion of those than all these glitzy little videos. It seems to me the word "experience" is self-explanatory. Why all the videos to try to explain what experiences are? I am disappointed in the address by Brian Chesky. Very little substance.

Hello @Ange2 and @Robert78,

Just to let you know I have just posted another thread with more details and a video, take a look here. 

I am sorry to hear your disappointment @Kate157, if you take a look at the thread I have linked to here in this post, you will find more details and I am sure there will be more information available soon. Plus, it is now live in the app, so once you have updated you app you will see it and you can have your own personal explore of 'Experiences'. 🙂 

Lastly, just to let you know I will close this thread here, so it doesn't get confusing with multiple ones. We would love to hear your thoughts, so please do share them on the other thread. 

Thank you all.

Lizzie
