Airbnb opportunity - self isolation letting or work from home letting?

Yes. I just got a booking at the airbnb today for a group traveling from overseas to self isolate for 14 nights.

 

Might want to pass on a disinfection charge as well lol

 

Similarly, I had an overseas visitor for 12 nights recently.

I'm actually surprisingly fully booked till May.

 

Just wait though, some of them may cancel.

 

Looks like there is a market for it
Allison was on a plane to Sydney when the pilot announced they would have to go into quarantine

 

Already have. Lol.

Also, to decontaminate afterwards

 

interesting updated airbnb listing

 

Big piece on this in AFR yesterday.

Apartment residents across Australia are angry that their buildings could be turned into high-risk viral hot-spots, as Airbnb hosts offer self-isolation packages to returned overseas travellers. Community leaders say housing potentially infected travellers who don’t want to put their families at risk during the two weeks of self-isolation puts apartment neighbours in unnecessary danger.

Airbnb hosts globally are reeling after a dramatic downturn in visitors due to travel restrictions and an Airbnb decision to waive cancellation fees for stays booked up to April 14 and possibly beyond. As a result, some hosts are compensating by offering special “self-isolation” packages – including stays in apartment blocks.

Airbnb packages risk creating viral hot-spots in apartments (I think CV stories are free to read)

 

So. Me and the hubby have been living in airbnb since we came back from ROK in February. We can't go back to ROK (no flights pretty much and we have to travel to Singapore and ROK people are banned from there) so we are in limbo. Our PPOR is permanently rented and it looks like we are here until (at least) the end of May.

 

Do you want another airbnb to rent? Happy to discuss if you pm me.

 

4 units in a block in Berchtesgaden Bavaria near Salzburg. Red Cross wants to book them for isolation. Its lower $$ but its blocked for 4 months. They are doing it across town as a flow over for hospitals and taking every "block" they can not isolated rooms or units. Treatment in isolation quarantine with nursing support before they fill hospitals. The germans know how to organise stuff.

 

Across ‘town’ is generous Paul, Berchtesgaden is small & for those not familiar is mainly famous as the site of the Eagles Nest for Hitler in WW2.
Agree seems a sensible idea though!

 

airbnb's email today;

 

NSW Govt just annnounced this : Very confusing message

NSW Govt just effectively banned all short stay accom

 

It is now illegal for anyone in NSW to stay in an Airbnb or similar short-term letting agency accommodation, a government spokesman has declared.

Under the new coronavirus regulations, no one should be staying anywhere other than their own permanent home, and they could be fined or imprisoned if they were found to be breaking emergency rules.

Penalties to apply to occpant and owner. Offenders to be encouraged to be reported to NSW Police for summons and action to evict. "There's zero reason for someone to stay in an Airbnb," said a spokesperson for the Minister for Better Regulation and Innovation Kevin Anderson. "It's illegal to have any guests whatsoever.

Pretty clear really.
