They have every right to promote their differentiation. Speaking as someone who lives in a great part of Manhattan and is often out of town, I've never used AirBnb because I don't trust their verification. I will definitely look for a competitor that does more thorough screening, even if the volume and rental price is lower. It's worth it to me.

There's a fine line, though. If the cost goes too high, why not just stay in a hotel? They have a specific budgetary window to aim for.
