Nice idea, since they help the renter to bill the room.

I'm always a bit surprised that new segment between B&B, Vacation Rentals and hotels are invented. Is it that people think those existing segments are well served?

It's the geographical diversity that gives this kind of thing an advantage. Hotels, B&B's and vacation rentals are highly clustered in either heavily commercial or tourist areas. If you want to just get the feel of how "regular" people live in "regular" parts of town, this kind of segment has a real advantage, especially if you are a social person who likes talking to people first thing in the morning....
