My neighbor after 8 years of renting out rooms to long term renters (which was bad enough), has now for the last 2 years has been renting out rooms through Airbnb. It sucks. 3-4 cars plus his 4, rideshares, trash on the street, speeding cars, loud music, racket at all hours, the random couple arguing in the street, drugged out people wandering the street, etc. Pretty special.
I told the owner of the house it sucks when his business fills up all the street parking in front of my house, when he puts his trash in my trash can (I pulled it out and handed it back to him), etc. They stopped parking in front of my house.
It is a residential neighborhood, not a commercial district.
To take a page from the NRA, “it’s not the products, it’s the people using the products.”
With long term tenants, you can be stuck with riff-raff for years.
My renters short and long have all been great. In fact, I have improved communities and long term residents are grumbling that there is no place left for them. But it’s not me displacing anyone. It’s supply and demand.
Airbnb has new producf called Airbnb Luxe.
It’s a wonderful innovation because it allows people to access luxury properties they would othetwise not get to experience. It should about access and customer experiences — win-win.
I love it how this lady painted the emoji on her house in Manhattan Beach. Pretty creative!
Airbnb has a lot of haters. People really need to embrace the times. I am renting out a house on Airbnb. Talked to the neighbors….. only 30 days or more and it’s working out great. The neighbors are not thrilled, but they need to suck it up.
This lady’s house in Manhattan Beach would be a great as 30-day or more rental. LA is a big market and lots of people come for work projects or holiday. She should rent it out with an electric car (on Turo), free charging included. The emoji would make it fun for the renters!
