A short YouTube video by Mark Simpson describing Airbnb travel trends in 2021: guests increasingly book entire homes (rather than apartments), travel in groups of three or more (families or groups), and stay for longer periods. Simpson also notes Airbnb has adjusted its search/results UI to support longer bookings (including a monthly booking option).

So the way that they see it and the way that people are telling them is that, number one, people are looking to book entire homes instead of apartments. So they're looking to travel with three or more people and they're looking to stay for longer. So this means is that number one, they're looking for bigger properties. They're looking for a unique stay. This is another thing that came out of it three or more. So it's not just one or two people. This is, you know, three or more. This is a family or it could be a group of people. And what they're looking to do is they're looking to stay longer. Now, if anybody else has noticed, what Airbnb have been doing in the background, as I do, is that they are opening up and changing their search results. So as you can see now if you go into the Airbnb website, you've got the ability to book for a month.
