As far as I can tell, they're only YC funded. They have steadily growing revenue (given the assumption that more people are booking lodging through their site)

They also were funded by Sequoia Capital last year.

Out of curiosity, why do they only list YC in their quick facts (bottom left of page)?

The way that I understand Airbnb's business is that they're providing an "inferior good" at least when compared to a hotel room (this is not a slight on their business). Inferior goods usually do well in poor economies (if I remember correctly, Hormel was doing really well with Spam just after the recession hit).
So the fact that Airbnb is doing well probably may not be indicative of a positive trend for the economy.
Then again, one company's success or failure rarely has much to do with the economy anyway.

They were interviewed by Mixergy and Jessica Livingston recently and there's a LOT of great stuff in those interviews:
