Aaah Jimmy,
Saying “boo hiss!” to those who take their apartment off the residential market, without making any allowance for individual circumstances, doesn’t sound very sympathetic to me.
Any rate, we basically agree – Airbnb is potentially stuffing it up for the genuine people on either side of the equation, leading to a hardening of attitudes towards even the most genuine of reasons for short-term lets. Bit like terrorists really….
