Airbnb CEO and co-founder Brian Chesky is in Miami this week for a conference – and he is living in an Airbnb while he is here.
Chesky is in town for the Pivot MIA conference where he is a speaker, Airbnb said in a release.
The company announced last month that Chesky would begin living in Airbnbs, as part of the “live anywhere” trend accelerated by the pandemic.
The plan is for Chesky to move to new Airbnbs in different cities every few weeks, with a goal of improving the platform.
Chesky will still be returning to San Francisco for work.
Miami is an Airbnb hotspot, the company said in the release.
There were a total of 710,000 Airbnb guest arrivals in Miami during 2021.
Airbnb says that 44% of Airbnb guest spending in Miami occurred in the neighborhood they stayed in.
