well, looks like the PR is not aligned with the dev team... curious to see when it launches!

@producthunt @elizabethhunker It's a pre launch (PH has a special option you can select if the product is not live). Just meant to grab some traction
Expected to see more hotel companies off-shoot in this direction long before this was announced, it looks like an AirBnB exclusively for super expensive villas
@aaronoleary I commend their effort to compete. Marriott’s challenge (and current strength) is an old-school hospitality mindset rooted in real estate and in-person service, whereas AirBnB focused building on scalable software that connects people. It will be interesting to see if Marriott can scale this efficiently. Personally, I feel like AirBnB is better suited to eat into their business with the acquisition of Hotel Tonight. Perhaps the Marriott folks should keep their eyes on Vrbo.
I wanted to look at the listings right away when I get the newsletter from ProductHunt. I am traveling constantly I need new additions to Airbnb but the website is still not available. What's point of sending this newsletter anyway.
