Airbnb: Host overview

This tutorial will give you some insight into the different types of hosts on Airbnb and which hosts NightsBridge can connect to.

Hosting on Airbnb

Airbnb works on the concept of a host, who has one or many listings under their account.
The host has a specific login (email) and password, from which they can view and/or manage their listings and reservations.
The host's login can also be used as a guest who travels.
NightsBridge will connect to the host, similar to a hotel ID on Booking.com.
