This is a fantastic Idea! AirBnb is certainly centralized even though some of think of it as a decentralized market.

It is a centrally run, P2P marketplace. After "hosting" several AirBnb properties professionally (also on other vacation rental marketplaces) I can attest to the fact the AirBnb has massive power, terrible customer service, and holds users hostage more or less. They have so many users and market share that you have to list on AirBnb in certain markets for certain properties.

Airbnb has bogus host guarantees and gives credence to lies from almost any guest if they know what to say. Getting through to a decision maker or manager at AirBnb is pretty much impossible. If you have a problem, you are pretty much fucked as a low level AirBnb employee will decide what ever they want to in a dispute to just move on to the next resolution case they have. That is if you can figure out how to directly get someone on the phone in the first place. They dont make it easy, you have to dig to get the customer service numbers.

You are forced to put up with BS from AirBnb and take losses from time to time because of AirBnb's crap. They are too big, you just have to bend over and take it from them.

I have used AirBnb and other sites like VRBO, HomeAway, TripAdvisor Vacation rentals etc. as a paying guest and also as professional host (property owner and property manager). I have hosted close 300 different parties of people through properties in the last several months. Dealing with AirBnb is an absolute necessary evil. I cant wait for the day I can bypass these mother fuckers. In the mean time I will take their shit, because overall it a cost of business dealing with their shit.

I think decentralized networks will eventually crush companies like AirBnb, Uber, etc. They have been major disruptors, but I think their success will be short lived if these markets can ever actually be fully decentralized.
