We saw long-term stays of 28 days or more remain our fastest-growing category [during the second quarter] by trip nights compared to 2019. The long-term stays has increased nearly 25 percent from a year ago. And actually, long-term stays have increased almost 90 percent since Q2 2019.”
In addition, Airbnb stated today more than 3 million family pets remained in Airbnb’s considering that November — whether overnights, weekends trips or longer stays.
