Fun facts (directly quoted) from Adam Lisagor, who made the video:
* All the locations are real Airbnb places.
* The pretty lady in the video is Venetia Pristavec, who does all the in-house video content for Airbnb, traveling around to different countries and interviewing hosts. She’s great.
* Where you see people, those are real Airbnb hosts.
* The site is neat, but you should download the iPhone app. It’s one of the best-designed, most beautiful and functional apps I’ve ever used.
* The cinematographer is my friend Rachel Morrison. She’s great.
* That villa with the credit card logos in the pool? It’s in Puerto Vallarta. The crew stayed there for a few days. It’s great.
* My side of the Scrabble board spells out “COOTYS RAT SEMEN”. Venetia’s spells “BEANS”. I won.
Hi Brian, I met you when you stayed with my cousin Caitlin (using your own service!) in Denver back during the Democratic National Convention in 2008. It is really cool to see how much your company has grown since that time. Congrats! - Jason
In the movie "Sneakers", "COOTYS RAT SEMEN" is one of the sillier anagrams encountered when the main characters try to use a Scrabble set to figure out the meaning of "Setec Astronomy". It's a classic hacker movie -- highly recommended if you haven't seen it.
