I rarely book Airbnb's, but the only places that make sense as far as being "least likely to be against the law" are single family homes or Airbnbs run by a professional rental management co.
- x0x0 8y agoNo? AirBnB should put the onus on hosts to make sure the activity is welcome. If the site becomes a buyer-beware trap, where if I want to eg book a condo in Austin I better go figure out what Austin and the condo building feel about AirBnB, it does not bode well for their future...
- dawhizkid 8y agoWhat do you mean "if it becomes..."? It is a buyer-beware trap. There is no incentive for hosts to self-police themselves.
- reustle 8y agoThere are (were?) many lux condo buildings in Bangkok, at least a few years ago, that had plenty of open inventory so they were putting the units online themselves. The condo lobby would take care of your check-in process.
- yakshaving_jgt 8y agoThere are. I'm staying in one now. It is somewhat concerning though, as there are big signs in the lobby of just about every luxury condo building stating — in English — that short-term rental is illegal, and you could face large fines and jail time.
