Chesky apparently was glued to his phone for the proceeding hours, replying to suggestions with feedback on which ones were already on the company's roadmap and why some had not been pursued. Three hours later, Chesky said he had received more than 300 ideas.
It comes after a busy year for Airbnb with regulatory losses and expansions to cities all over the world.
Chesky returned to the feed Monday morning. Mashable rounded up some of the suggestions.
