Hotel CEO celebrates higher prices in NYC after anti-Airbnb law passes
Higher hotel prices are not necessarily bad, especially for the local residents.<p>I had an Airbnb spawn across the mews behind my building they have a pretty large open balcony and there were parties literally every night during the summer here in London, they stopped only fairly recently when the season changed and I&#x27;m expecting the hell to resume when we get closer to the holiday season.<p>Across the street on the front of my building there is a pretty nice hotel (actually there are a few of them on the street and around it) and they are quiet because the hotel staff keeps the guests behaved.
After 10 PM you&#x27;ll see the porter or the front desk telling guests to be quiet even if they are talking on their phone a tad too loud while having a smoke.<p>And as far as calling the cops goes, this doesn&#x27;t work, noise complaints especially on the weekend are pretty low priority I&#x27;m hardly the only one bothered by it and it&#x27;s pretty futile.<p>Before that there were about 3-4 weeks of an Airbnb in my actual building, it&#x27;s a small mid 19th century building with only 6 flats and there were tons of complaints including loss of mail and packages so the trust that owns the building had a vote and banned short term rental.
