Airbnb is preparing to expand its business beyond accommodations and experiences to “services that will make it better for guests to stay in Airbnbs,” Chief Business Officer Dave Stephenson said in an interview on the sidelines of the Paris Olympics. Airbnb is considering services such as a personal chef, mid-week cleaning, or improving ease of transportation and checking in, Stephenson added. He echoed comments from Chief Financial Officer Ellie Mertz who outlined potential additions such as refrigerator stocking and spa services.
