The movie came out in 2006. Airbnb started in 2007. I'm willing to bet this movie sparked interest in home-sharing.

The hosts examine the recent resurgence of home swapping driven by economic pressures, with data showing the movement has more than doubled since 2022 and encourages longer, more sustainable travel stays.
