Airbnb hosts have full freedom when it comes to selecting how available their property or rooms are. An Airbnb host can setup a calendar for their listing so that it is only available for a few days or weeks a year. For instance, by utilizing the calendar tool, a host can set their property to be available for just one week in a year. Alternatively, another example is a host setting their rooms to be available for 11-months out of the 12.
Entire homes or apartments highly available year-round for tourists, probably don’t have the owner present, could be illegal, and more importantly, are displacing residents.
