Airbnb to Open Home-Sharing Complex in Nashville

Airbnb is partnering with Nido to open buildings for long-term residents who can sublet to tourists. This project has faced mixed reactions from residents, with some feeling blindsided. The legality of these operations varies by location, with current projects in Kissimmee and Nashville. Airbnb is moving towards hotel-like listings with Airbnb Plus, aiming for standardization and higher service levels. The company plans to expand in the U.S. and is exploring new revenue streams like experiences, all while preparing for an IPO.
