Is it getting hammered though? Genuine question.

Anecdata: Reason I ask is that we did a trip a few weeks ago and for us, hotels were out of the question. Never used Airbnb before but did this time to get smaller places to ourselves.

As I was looking it was tough to get everything lined up as many places were booked up. Some really great looking places were practically booked up for the next several months. Wasn't sure if this was the norm or if many others are doing the same.

I recently checked Airdna stats for my (capital) city and it said Airbnb occupancy was down 80% since March, with an uptick since mid-May, leading it to be down 60% currently (meaning it improved by 20% from its -80% level).

From my observations bookings are healthy in recreational areas like Colorado, but still non-existent in urban city centers... not sure how that breaks down in terms of revenue for them.
