The summer holidays are fast approaching and the warmer weather means it’s the perfect time for a staycation.
In the UK the number of holiday lets has risen by 40% in three years, according to BBC analysis of council figures.
This comes as Airbnb has permanently banned parties and events happening at homes on its platform.
The ban was initially a temporary measure put in place during the pandemic, but it proved popular with hosts on the site.
