I so appreciate everyones thoughts and comments.
What has been most infuriating about the change to how Air B%B search engine works is that I cannot get a response from higher level (decision makers) Air B&B as to the why or what of this change. My emails to the Help line have been ignored. They just seem impenetrable. What they don't seem to understand is that an unhappy host makes for an unhappy guest, meaning I will be making alternate plans for my travels.
