Airbnb removes host fee details on split-fee phase-out and 15.5% single-fee rate

The old text described that hosts using property-management software were being moved off the split-fee structure and onto a single fee of about 15.5% (16% in Brazil). It also gave typical host fee ranges (14-16%) and noted a possible 2% surcharge for very strict cancellation policies. The new version drops these passages; the service-fee text for service bookings (15%, minimum US$6) is only reworded.
