    "context": "The fee is really a stay-length lever: $150 amortized over a 6-night stay is $25/night, but over a 1-night stay it doubles the price. Markets with short average stays convert better when part of the cost moves into the nightly rate, while hosts who want to filter out 1-night party bookings use a firm fee deliberately. Because Airbnb shows total price in search, your fee now directly moves your position in price-sorted results.",
    "methodology": "Formula: fee = true cost ÷ (1 − platform host fee) × (1 + margin). Platform fee applies to the cleaning fee itself. Medians reflect 2026 US host-reported costs; run your own numbers in the linked calculator.",
