AirBnB or FRBO - who out there is doing it or tried it?

I want to try using AirBnB or FRBO to rent living space to corporate customers at a rate lower than extended stay hotels and by providing an atmosphere closer to a real home. It would be completely furnished. Of course, consumers are welcome to rent as well. I don't really care who wants to pay my bills;)

Is anyone out there doing it?

Do you feel it is successful or not? Are you killing it or just getting by? Mistakes that you've made? Good decisions that you have made? What kind of a place are you renting out? Condo? SFH? Other?

Please provide as much detail as you feel comfortable sharing. We can also talk offline if that's better.

I really don't want to rent to families any more. I did that 20 years ago and ended up selling everything out of frustration.
