Airbnb guest selection for children?

[Qacer]

When booking on Airbnb.com do you normally include kids under 5 in the guest count?

I'm just curious what your take on it is.

I'd treat young children like pets, if the host doesn't explicitly say it is okay, just shoot a note and ask.

Don't be surprised if people never reply as hope you go somewhere else. I wouldn't want a 5 year old in my house.
