I can see a market for the concept, but probably a limited one. Innovators often offer ideas that appeal to themselves...this idea seems to target high-income, not tied down, looking for a social environment...

So basically, they realized there's a small subset of people who use airbnb for short/medium term rentals (several weeks to months) and want to create a service to cater to them?

Honestly, given how airbnb is being cracked down on in many cities, this could be a very attractive option for some existing property owners.
