In NYC, it seems like the hotel lobby is behind the crackdown....funny, I guess they don't like the idea of not being to charge the crap out of visitors.
And if there's anything sketchy, it's virtually every "affordable hotel" in NY. Ive stayed in much sketchier hotel rooms in NY than I have in airbnb apartments. People seem to care much about their own apartments, than hotels do about their rooms. Also, a much smaller chance of bed bugs! |
Still do, and most of it still is
I'm not saying it's sketchy in terms of the rooms, but in terms of the chances of showing up to nothing. Seems like going after illegal airbnb operations has become a pretty regular thing in NYC.
