When I look for a 2 bedroom airbnb in a price range, I am more sus of 3 bedroom airbnbs in the same price range, cause their quality is likely lower in other areas.
Similarly, I feel sus when people ask me to work on a project with 'women run' as part of the sales pitch

There's an organization out there that makes tiny loans ($20 or less) to folks in impoverished countries. The rate of return is good (95% repay their loans on time) but they have found that women repay their loans at a much higher rate. It's not hard to see why. (1/2)

Women Run?
OH. As in run by women. For some reason I was thinking...a project that says right up from that women are the go-fers?
(Speaking as a dude who is used to always being the go-fer)

Conversely, as long as it’s harder for women to network, secure funding, etc, “women run” might be a reliable indicator that this business is above average because otherwise they wouldn’t have made it this far.

This hasn't been my experience at all. I've been in amazing airbnb spaces for the same price than quite average & not even ones. Usually the fluctuation in price has obeyed 1. The place being newly listed/few reviews or 2. The owner is rich and has no clue how to price things.

Pay more and get more. Quality is worth it.
As to the women run thing.... good ideas/plans/businesses don't need a gimmick.
Saying it is managed by a particular group may make you feel better but it doesn't automatically improve chances of success.
