Back in 2018 we made a deliberate move away from the “quick-turn weekend” model and began designing listings for week-plus trips and Month+ rentals. Extra workspace, 500 Mbps Wi-Fi, fully stocked kitchens, and price ladders for 7- and 28-night blocks became standard. Those longer listings now sit side-by-side with classic short-term homes inside the same Airbnb dashboard, so our Airbnb average length of stay inevitably skews high.

That is exactly the point. We believe the future of the STR industry is guest mobility—people traveling fewer times per year but settling in longer when they do. By showing an average stay of 9.7 days versus the market’s 4.8 days, we’re proving the model works for owners, guests, and the neighborhoods we operate in.

Guests who unpack for ten nights run fewer loads of laundry, generate less trash, and make fewer airport transfers. Longer reservations also mean fewer turnover cleans and linen runs, lowering each booking’s carbon footprint. At the neighborhood level, steady occupants reduce party risk and late-night ride-share traffic. A healthier Airbnb average length of stay therefore benefits both the environment and the community at large.

Owners win, too: fewer cleanings slash costs, and nightly rates can stay firm without last-minute discounts. Our 9.7-day benchmark nearly doubles the local market, translating into steadier occupancy and happier neighbors.

1.Remote-work readiness Dual-monitor desks, blackout drapes, and coffee-shop-level Wi-Fi invite digital nomads to book multi-week blocks—lifting the Airbnb average length of stay portfolio-wide.

2. Weekly & monthly discount ladders Automated 10 % (7-night) and 20% (28-night) savings nudge four-night browsers into seven-night commitments.

3. Concierge prep Grocery pre-stock, baby-gear rentals, and mid-stay cleans remove friction. The easier a house feels to “live” in, the longer guests choose to stay.

4. Pet-friendly flexibility No-fee pet policies (where allowed) let families travel with dogs for extended periods—adding roughly two extra nights per booking.

Each lever stacks on the next, pushing the Airbnb average length of stay well past city norms.

Ten-night guests unpack, grocery shop, and explore farmers’ markets—activities that produce richer reviews and higher neighborhood scores.

Quiet, purposeful travelers also pose minimal disturbance, satisfying city compliance rules and further supporting the elevated Airbnb average length of stay loop.
