Airbnb product management difficult to get into?

I'm a product manager (20 months in role-business analyst beforehand) at a lending tech company, but on the side I invest in real estate and have 3 Airbnb listings that I own and operate (4 soon!). I'd love to work on Airbnb's product, particularly on the owner/listing management side.
Does anyone know how difficult it would be to land there and if it's a good place to work? Currently live in the Midwest but would potentially be willing to relocate.

Two, PM for listing is a very narrow target for a role here. You would need impeccable timing, luck, and mad credentials. And we'd still probably hire someone internally or take in a referral instead.
Goal should be, how do I get into airbnb? How do I navigate to that particular PM role.
And yes, knowing and using the product definitely does give you a leg up, especially if you can use that to articulate a really compelling story about why you're passionate about the product and the space.
Best of luck!
