Since when do y'all are including AirBnb listings? That's pretty cool to include them in the search results with traditional hotels.
We have included them from the start. They are an alternative to hotels just like we include Amtrak train searches in flights.
Thanks for sharing.
On the web version it feels that the highlighted hotels are too few now. For example, over all of Paris, it shows only 10 highlighted hotels, with a bunch of gray dots all around. It gives me the feeling that there isn't much availability or that your catalogue is short.
When it's at the level of a neighborhood, it makes sense. But at the city level not really (IMO), since you'll have hotels of different styles/atmosphere but of similar quality overall.
