I feel that airbnb has filled a need for travellers unfamiliar with the distances between cities or towns because they can book a place to stay while on the road. Airbnb also helps many young families, permitting a parent to stay home with their children by renting a room in their home. Travel is changing, and many people are looking for local knowledge.
As Airbnb super hosts, we enjoy sharing and enhancing their experience in our small town and surrounding area.
I despise Airbnb. It has ruined cities, communities and rental prices all over the world. It started out as a good idea but now it’s just an annoying business. The community where I live is horrible around 5 months a year because of Airbnb. The guests park in our parking spaces, come in at all ours, abuse the gardens, are noisy. Airbnb is probably ok if it’s a stand alone house but not in buildings where long term residents live. Only positive point of Coronavirus: NO AIRBNB.
