It was a combative year for Airbnb,Lina Romay and the controversial home-sharing company is ready to move on to 2017.

As 2016 comes to a close, the the $30 billion company's public policy arm shared some information in a reflective new blog post.

"You have been the difference-makers, and after this tremendous 2016, we expect to see 1 million interactions between hosts and government officials in 2017," the public policy group Airbnb Citizen wrote in a blog post to Airbnb users. "We’re excited to continue our work with you to grow and strengthen our community, while we also continue to partner with policymakers to realize the benefits of home sharing in cities around the world."

Among Airbnb's selected highlights this year:

  • Sixty percent of guests who booked a stay on Airbnb were millennials.

  • The fastest-growing category of hosts is senior citizens, and senior women are Airbnb's top-rated hosts.

  • Australia and Japan have seen year-over-year growth of 200 percent.

  • Airbnb's Community Compact, part of its long-awaited effort to fight discrimination by hosts and guests on its platform, has had an acceptance rate of 95 percent by users since September.

  • One million listings are available via Instant Book, which doesn't allow hosts to pick and choose between guests in a way that could be discriminatory.

Airbnb didn't totally ignore 2016's messier moments, including a major regulatory loss in New York City, a similar battle in San Francisco, and vigorous opposition from cities all over the world as the company continues to grow.

Happy 2017, Airbnb.
