Yes, I can. So I am one of the super OG Airbnb users. And even prior to Airbnb, I used Craigslist to rent out my apartment in San Francisco.

You know, I think that so Airbnb started in, I think 2007, right? So I started using Airbnb, I don't even know about right away and I think maybe not many people did it because it was mostly in New York. On my Airbnb profile, I have my first date in 2009.
