Na da werde ich mich die Tage mal durcharbeiten. #boykottUSA #AirBnB Ja mir ist bewusst das ich die Frage auf einer US Plattform gestellt habe.

Ist leider auch so ein Thema fürs Stellwerk später. Will ich das auf AirBnB anbieten oder verzichte ich aus ideellen Gründen auf vermutlich viel Einnahmen. Würde mal behaupten AirBnB auszugrenzen ist wie seine Waren Sachen statt auf ebay/Amazon nur auf hood.de zu verkaufen.

Last week @HazelChu criticised the government for not doing anything to stop the ludicrous situation whereby we put tourists into houses and people who need houses into hotels.

But I guess there's more money to be made from the status quo.

The €6.7m that the government paid for the use of this Rathmines hotel over ten months works out at €8,600 per room per month. If you bought houses for those people you'd have got your money back in two years.

#AskFedi

Planning a trip to #Finland in early August. Looking for accommodation (3 adults & 5 nights) in or near #Tampere that is within public transport reach.

Are there any local or national holiday rental portals that you can recommend? Or listings pages for summer houses? Places you know?

I want to avoid big US-owned brokers like booking.com or #airBnB. I'm not using any of the various #Meta platforms (no FB, Insta or WhatsApp groups, please).

Boost welcome!

Temple University: New research shows a pet’s cuteness can significantly influence intentions to book a home-sharing service like Airbnb. “A fluffy dog with soft fur, big round eyes, floppy ears and a small stature is so high on the ‘pet cuteness’ scale that it may influence your decision to book your next Airbnb stay. “
