All host sites show up as a generalized random location within a few miles of the actual address. No exact addresses or directions are revealed. These are shared with a guest only after the host has accepted their stay request through the website. Real names and phone numbers are also shared between the host and guest at that time, providing increased transparency and security.

Profiles are public and can be viewed by anyone online. Hosts should avoid including directions, addresses, or photos on their profile that would make their exact location obvious.
