Airbnb Sees Talkative New Yorkers Leaving Lengthy, Enthusiastic Reviews Of Extended Beginners' Vacation In Idaho

NEW YORK, NY — After listening to countless lengthy, glowing reviews of Idaho after visiting the state for an extended length of time, suspicions have begun to grow that New Yorkers banned from renting out their homes on Airbnb have used the opportunity to take advantage of an extended Airbnb Intro to Idaho package.

"They seem fundamentally changed," said Shannon Richards. "Sure, New Yorkers are known to be very talkative and enthusiastic, but to see them focus all of that talkative enthusiasm on what a wonderful paradise Idaho is seems odd. Maybe they're using the same program I did? It was life-changing!"

The Airbnb Intro to Idaho package offers guests 30% off of stays longer than 30 days, something many believe is the cause of the extended stay of New York residents. "Yep, same thing happened here," said Idaho resident Glen Thomas. "Apparently, some law recently passed in New York that banned Airbnb hosts from renting places out for stays shorter than 30 days. I guess all of them decided to leave busy New York life behind and stay here instead. Not that we mind, they're delightful. We all agree there's something vaguely familiar about them."

Back in New York, friends and co-workers have grown accustomed to long, excited stories recanting the beauty of Idaho and its wonderful people. "It's all they talk about," said Erin Martine. "Mark used to tell us long stories about intricately designed model train sets, and Sally used to drone on and on about New York culinary history. Now? It's all potatoes and accents and rolling, rural landscapes. It can't all be chalked up to vacationing in Idaho for sure. It has to be those beginner courses Airbnb offers. I may have to give them a try!"

At publishing time, besides being awed at what a wonderful vacation destination Idaho is, New York co-workers had begun to develop suspicions that their former friends are also running Airbnb businesses of their own.
