I was very surprised when I found out by chance the week before our trip (scheduled for 12/26 - 1/2) that the unit was going for less than half of the price we had paid just the week prior to our visit -- $382 per night paid by us compared to $170. That was a shocking difference. I had no idea that this type of fluctuation in price is allowed by Airbnb for the same property given that the guest books in good faith not knowing of this in advance. When I inquired I was told that I was booking during one of the two most expensive weeks of the year. Perhaps that is true, but it was still a hard pill to swallow.
