The rise of Airbnb and other online accommodation start-ups has led analysts to say that the multibillion-dollar hotel industry is being disrupted.

I know of several people who rent a property and then sublet via airbnb – making several hundreds of pounds profit each and every month.

In fact, years ago, I owned a Short Term Let / Serviced Apartment company that did just that.

What do you think ?
