I'm actually concerned they'll cut the price too much as a favor, but I think I'd only feel comfortable if we were close to covering what they normally would get.

How does your take-home amount compare to the amount listed in Airbnb site?

A family member offered us to use their Airbnb at the"family and friends rate" while we do a necessary renovation project at our house, which I believe basically means taking off the Airbnb fees. For a $200/per night place, what can I expect is the amount they receive when renting through the site? If we rent for a month or two months, do you think it would be cheaper than just the per night charge x30 or x60?

Asking here before talking more with them because I don't want to bother if it'll be too expensive to consider.

Other than being a good clean guest, what other things would you keep in mind when renting from friends or family?
