I had a front row seat for a good bit of this. You are directly responsible for a huge chunk of the amazingness that Airbnb is today. Steady, low key, wise, effective leadership with kindness and good humor. Congrats on 10 years!

Airbnb IS a shame how they deal with hostage. They always press you to Accept all conditions of guests. If you put a check in time and they agree, then they can give you the evaluation they want. Please fix this
