> The one and critical thing AirBnB got right was building into their platform the expectation owners would offer discounts for stays over a week, or over a month.

I'm also a digital nomad. new country every 1-3 months and I completely agree. I'd love to find an alternative but the one month discount is critical for keeping my costs fairly low. booking doesn't even allow you to book over 30 days.

I think a lot of landlords are worried about letting anyone stay more than 30 days. That's usually when tenant's rights kick in and removing someone becomes a complicated process with housing court and potentially months without rent.

Actually Booking has been allowing reservations longer than 30 days for a few years now.

Perhaps accommodations in your destinations that are on Booking don't have availability for the whole duration you're searching for?
