  • The oversupply problem during the pandemic led to a drop in demand for some Airbnb hosts, but an increase in occupancy levels for city getaways.
  • The surge in real estate prices due to Airbnb's success reduced the availability of long-term rentals and drove rental costs up, while regulations and user dissatisfaction impacted the platform's revenues.
