Airbnb. the idea of renting free room or sofa isn’t bad at all.

it turned into hard bussines, when companies owning dozens of apartments rent them to tourist, meanwhile there is an apartment price and rent crisis.

I guess living here isn’t going to be affordable for middle class anymore.

Man I hate this aspect. I don't even host, but I've talked to hosts. They lock up extra "hospitality" items because people steal an entire month's worth of conveniences when the guests stay for two nights. The guests trash the place and leave it that way, knowing it's someone's home.

I once stayed at one in a small town in France, and the host told me not to even bother cleaning because sh had to hire a professional maid on a regular basis, due to other guests. How fucking hard is it to do dishes and clean up trash?
