Unmapped Listing from Airbnb

If you have listings from Airbnb that you do not want to be mapped to RoomRaccoon there is a way for you to do this with the “not to be mapped” button. This means that we will not map these listings to RoomRaccoon so that you can manage those listings with Airbnb directly.
