This document summarizes a meetup for NYC Airbnb hosts sponsored by Airbnb Guest Screening. It discusses the speaker Anton Zilberberg and his company AutoHost.AI, lessons he learned from his first Airbnb rental, and tips for effectively screening guests to reduce risks like parties or chargebacks while not over-screening and losing one-night bookings. These tips include being proactive, flagging high-risk dates and guests, confirming guest numbers, calling or meeting guests in person if needed, and trusting your intuition during the screening process.
