Looking at Wikipedia, it appears they spent several months before launching their site, after getting a technical cofounder. So 3 people and 6 months, at least. I find it very hard to believe they did all that with the idea their MVP was renting out their flat.

It wasn't just renting out their flat, they let other people rent out their air mattresses (or couches) too.

Early on their idea was to be a "Bed and Breakfast", to the point where they required the hosts to cook breakfast for the guests.
