Just read your article on Airbnb; a narrow minded approach.
I just returned from a family trip to NYC. We rented an apartment for $450 per night, 2 bedrooms, kitchen, the works. Located in Hell’s Kitchen only one block from Times Square.
This was far cheaper than a shoe box hotel room which could not accommodate my family of five. No parties, no doof doof music, just privacy and comfort.
Where I live my next door neighbour holiday lets his house. Sometimes there are parties but they don’t disturb us.
There are laws in place concerning noise. Leave it be. Airbnb or Stayz will not go away. I’m perplexed how you think a flood of apartments will open in Melbourne. Leave free markets alone.
Have you even used the app?
