I had one renter complain that they couldn't get the wifi network and password (and again ask for a refund), so I just gave in and put it in the listing. Airbnb has a way to enter it securely, but most guests never figure it out. Airbnb should probably text the wifi network and password automatically when a property is booked
Update: I'm on phone with AirBNB support about this right now. Frankly their phone support is pretty poor, eventhough I'm a "super host." They can't seem to answer basic questions about how the wifi network and password is provided to guests
I would use Rails. Rails has everything I need to build a web app and API back end should I require a native mobile app. As a ruby guy I can't really comment on the frontend, but my go to JS framework that lets me build shit quickly is knockoutjs.
Haha, cool. There's another similar issue (which your team may already be aware of) that I'd be happy to point out less-publicly if you want to send me an email. Anyway, nice project!
