New place to look for hotels

That was an interesting article. I'll be curious to see how it works. I'm also wondering if they will charge an Airbnb service fee when they list hotels, like they do now (although that might be the owners that do that).

The Japanese Panama hotel in Seattle has been on Air BnB for quite a while, and they do add a service fee (quite a hefty one).
Given my side interests in the Japanese both in Seattle and Yakima, it started out as a good idea for a night or two until I found out about Air BnB's involvement - a huge switch off, especially with the service fee.

Different reasons for the interest in the two cities.
