AirBnb "Family Collection" thoughts? Successes?

We just qualified for AirBnb's "Family Collection" which is supposed to feature our property for those seeking "family friendly" properties.  AirBnb does have a button on their filters for trip "type" to where you can choose family.  Just wondering if anything has an opinion or experience on if this really helped on bookings?

It's pretty tough to qualify as you need a 4.8 average review score over all, and at least two 5 star with verified families, amenities, family friendly in your description etc.  If I search properties in my market and just use standard filters, I come up with over 100 properties.... If I add the "family" type, it goes to only 5!  so I guess I feel good being in the small club ha ha.... obvously, can't hurt..... but does it really do anything?  Anyone have experience that this designation made a big difference?

Like you say it can't hurt and doesn't cost you anything so it's a no brainer to implement it.

If you pick up a couple extra bookings here and there it will be worth it.
