## Brand context
marketplace for vacation rentals and experiences for travelers

Airbnb operates a global marketplace where hosts offer unique vacation rentals, stays, experiences, and services for travelers everywhere, helping guests connect with communities through local, bookable offerings. Its differentiator is scale across nearly every country, with millions of active listings and over 5.5 million hosts that enable authentic stays far beyond traditional hotels.

Audiences:
- leisure travelers and groups booking entire homes, apartments, cabins, and apartments for short stays
- hosts renting out rooms, apartments, and whole homes, and offering experiences or services

Evidence returned by the MCP is deduplicated, ranked for the request, and linked to source and permission provenance. Counts reflect the canonical evidence-store snapshot, not invented adoption or asset totals. Screen imagery is delivered through authenticated, metered MCP calls; it is not distributed on public pages.

## Retrieval
Ask the design.live MCP for the project brief, constraints, and desired Airbnb qualities. It returns ranked evidence and an agent-ready implementation plan; do not copy a source screen wholesale.
