That message seems to be lost on the air b&b patrons across the road from me last weekend. Cars & people everywhere, partying until 3am along with some terrible sing alongs to Guns&Roses. Didn’t see the airb&b police anywhere.

Templesmith As if they have any means of enforcement.

kuku27 Can parties be held on terraces? under open sky

Better late then never I guess.
