Small silver linings.

I doubt it. Just some temporary difficulties, they'll be back at it afterwards... it's not a 'bubble', it's an actually profitable business that works by bypassing a lot of legislation, same as Uber etc. The thing that will make a difference is not Coronavirus, but governments making an effort to enforce existing laws.

Airbnb bubble burst at last? Don't want to sound like a dick but kind of glad, been pushing property and rental prices around here for the last 2 years up way way higher than they should be (probably the same a lot of places?). We have been on it since 2013/14, have a spare room, occasionally put it up when it suits us and generally choose people that sound interesting, rather than what most seem to do now, lease a regular flat, then sub divide it, fill it full, and get a company to mind it for you.
Number of flats that have been dumped onto the regular rental market or listed for sale is staggering, rare to see more than 1 on our quadrant up for sale or rent at any time, there must be 20 with signs up today.
