Does Airbnb have a max occupancy?

Occupancy at Airbnb listings will be capped at 16 people. This is primarily relevant to larger homes that we previously allowed to list as able to accommodate 16+ people. Guests will be informed about Airbnb's party rules and informed that they may be legally pursued by Airbnb if they violate our policy.
