I'm the host of a house on AirBnB. At that location, we never get business travelers.

In fact, most people are large families or friends coming down for the weekend. They want to be in one area together instead of separated apart like one may be at a hotel. This would be one of the advantages of an AirBnB.

However, I don't see business travelers using this service all that often. Perhaps AirBnB will begin offering subsidized listings to entice more companies to opt for their listings.

If you host families your place must be dimensioned and priced as such. The lone business traveler will instead probably look to book a small studio or apartment. One bed, a kitchen, a desk/work area. Like a hotel room but with a proper kitchen.
