Short-term holiday lets

A short-term let is a property or room that is rented out for a short period of time. This usually covers a period between one night to a few weeks. In a short-term let, the visitors are not using the property as their main or permanent house. Short term-lets are advertised on websites such as Airbnb, HomeAway and other holiday letting platforms.

Short-term lets provide more accommodation choice for visitors to the city.
