So..... now that they're including the cleaning fees in the search area as part of the per/night price.... mine look crazy expensive because we allow 1 night bookings. This makes no sense. If I switch to 4 night or 7 night minimum my price in the search bar goes down significantly. Am I correct on this? I just did a search while not logged in and saw one of my places said $174 per night when I'm only charging $89 plus cleaning fee. This is dumb.

@John Underwood your response prompts another question: we, and most of the short term rental owners that we know list on both airbnb and homeaway.  However, every single one of them (including us), say they almost exclusively get bookings from one and not the other.  We get 96% of bookings from Airbnb, while our colleague gets 96% of his bookings from VRBO.  Anyone have any insight or tips to even it out?
