          To add to this, in the U.S. the price on the shelf should be the actual price after tax. It’s so weird seeing the price and knowing it’s not actually the price.

      Taxes are not displayed anywhere else, so if Airbnb starts including taxes in their listing they will be at a competitive disadvantage as their pricing would become apples to oranges versus hotels in the wrong direction.

      Almost nowhere in the US includes taxes in the advertised price.
