This is interesting and, possibly, they've become a victim of their own success.

Back in 2011 @bluehat and I started one of the first professional hacker houses in Silicon Valley (Palo Alto).

One of our competing hacker houses had somebody die at it (found out later it was of meningococcal meningitis - yay fun terrifying times). I believe we had multiple calls from Airbnb support to help absorb some of their guests.

I also distinctly remember multiple times where we had support contact us trying to help a guest who had a last-minute cancellation from someone else. But my data is super old… We shut that hacker house down around 2016 that was around the last time I had any of these kind of calls. I also haven't hosted in 5 years.
