## Transcript

Airbnb is trying to make life easier for business travelers and their hosts. Airbnb now gives hosts the option of designating themselves as business traveler ready. That means wi- fi, laptop friendly workspace And iron hangers and some other essentials. Hosts must allow a 24 hour check in and can't cancel reservations within seven days of the check in date. The company also announced a tool to simplify hosts jobs a bit. It's a smart pricing feature that uses data from other area listings to adjust pricing based on demand. The changes come at a complicated time for airbnb. The company has seen huge growth over the last five years.

17 million people stayed at an airbnb this summer. Compare that to a measly 47 thousand from summer 2010. But it's seeing some push back from major cities. Including criticism in San Francisco that it's contributing to a rise in housing prices, and penalties in New York for some illegal short term rentals. Air BnB is currently in the midst of trying to brand itself as a partner of major cities and get rid of its disruptive image. In its community compact plan, the company said it aims to work hand in hand with local governments.
