@rrhoover i haven't come across a rewards program yet but the Airbnb business feature is great.

So this is definitely interesting--but we have to remember who they are catering to. Their target audience is out of town business travelers and this should not have a large effect on "workplace as a service" providers like SpareChair, LiquidSpace & LaunchableLabs--where our target markets are not just for out-of-towners.
I've always had a pretty good experience with AirBnB, and I prefer it to hotels because I like being able to make my own coffee in the morning, and I like staying in actual neighborhoods. I spend a lot of time in our NY office and I always spend a lot of time trying to find the right place (on a convenient subway line, near a nice place to run, proximity to other things I like to do). I would love if AirBnB for business could help me search more easily by, say, giving me search results I can sort by commute time to the office. I have also used my personal account to book for other team members, so I think a business account could be super-helpful as we grow!
A rewards program would be fantastic, too.

I would love if they partnered with local gyms in the city. When I travel for an extended period of time or even in another city for a few days, it makes it a lot easier to stay in routine if there is a gym accessible in the hotel.
