Multiple bunk rooms up for rent
Rooms with multiple bunk beds are for rent here at nearly $1000 a month.
Good Ricochet piece on why renovictions are rife and little is done to prevent them.
Another Ricochet piece looks into how long‑term rentals are being emptied out and turned into ghost hotels.

If you read the article about the bunk beds you’ll see that it’s not real. Those are fake ads intended to study the market.

Still, they’re trying it out to see if they get enough bites and, if so, they’ll put them up.
I’ve seen photos like that of real offers in London and other large cities.

A long time ago I saw an Airbnb listing with three bunkbeds in one shared room, and the house had three of them. Cheap, $80 per room IIRC, with lots of reviews, not even all bad. It wasn’t even close to downtown, but most days on the calendar were booked. There’s definitely a market there. I can only imagine the lineup for the bathroom though.

It would be one thing to stay in an Airbnb like that for a few days, maybe when you’re young and travelling with friends, but to live like that?
