I booked a month once for around 900. Ended up staying a lot longer. He offered that I could just pay thru Venmo and ended up only charging 700 for the rest of my time there. He has multiple properties so I just txt him when I come home to visit. Once you build a little trust it’s easy to cut out the middle man.

You answered your own question. Obviously the US peaked first. It doesn’t look like it changed since the 90s because it hasn’t.
