Let's talk about how Airbnb took over Paris and the dark side of Airbnb in Paris. We'll investigate the war between the city of Paris and Airbnb that could very well be the death of Airbnb in Paris. I'm French and I've lived in Paris for around 10 years and I have a lot of thoughts on how short-term rentals kill cities and I've been an Airbnb host myself and I've also used Airbnb to travel. If you're reading this let me know your thoughts!
