Pretty sure the airbnb I am staying at is one those arbitrage models. ~3K monthly rent in a luxury building for a 1 bed renting an avg of $200 a night. Only a few guests before me. I just don't see this lasting as every time I need to get into the garage I have to use the callbox to call the host. What if I'm coming back at 3AM??? On top of that, the "luxury" listing uses cheap furniture - think ikea futons, flatscreen on the wall with the wires dangling (my pet peave), no amenities... not even a bottle of water. Also, check in was quite interesting.. there was a fake plant outside the door and the key was just underneath. No lockbox or anything.
