It seems like every channel and PMS has a unique name for their customers that own or manage vacation rentals: clients, hosts, owners, PMs, etc.
It's not really correct to say "owner" because that excludes the PM crowd. Saying PM excludes the mom and pop crowd.
Airbnb says "host" but that denotes more of a house-sharing scenario and not a business. On the business side, is "client" or "merchant" appropriate? Isn't a guest a type of client though?
"User" is equally ambiguous because guests use these platforms as well. Besides, the term "user" conjures up images of someone with a drug habit.
