I’m not even an Airbnb user and I absolutely can’t stand them anyway. So many people in my building rent their flats to tourists who get insanely drunk, shout like crazy day and night, make a mess of our shared toilets, and won’t go to sleep cause they’re too busy shouting or taking drugs and yelling (I live in Amsterdam). This is a sort of mixed industrial area, and our walls and ceilings are pretty thin. There’s no isolation so since the whole Airbnb hype started, life has become so much less enjoyable, more like a living hell. Our building has now suffered from so many incidents: things get stolen, Airbnb people ring your doorbell at night because of course they have no idea which doorbell to ring when they’re so drunk and drugged.
Can anyone just sue Airbnb? The world was a better place without it. The worst part is that my “friends” don’t ever have space in their house for me anymore because they’re all renting their spare rooms to Airbnb users. When I’ve needed a place to stay, everyone says no because they have Airbnb guests. Honestly, that means those “friends” suck, but it’s also creepy that everyone is letting strangers stay in their houses. From what I hear, this site is way more expensive than most hotels anyway. Why not stay at a nice hotel where you’re provided privacy and security? People are weird.
“The worst part is that my “friends” don’t ever have space in their house for me anymore because they’re all renting their spare rooms to Airbnb users.”
These people don’t owe you a place to stay. Get a hotel you self important lunatic.
I agree with David they probably just hate you.
“When I’ve needed a place to stay, everyone says no because they have Airbnb guests”. I am just guessing that your friends just don’t like you. I don’t like people the bitch an moan all the time either.
The problem is not AirBnB, but your condo administration…they should not allow short term rent (min 6 month should do)
It happens everywhere Airbnb and their cohort infect. Airbnb’s representative for Australia, Sam Mcdonagh: “Australian is our most penetrated market.”
We know what we’d like ‘penetrated’.
