The flattering story published by Toronto Life of the Leaside Airbnb couple known in the article only as “Paul and Meg” has drawn mixed reaction from other Leaside homeowners in posts at Leaside Community. One has calculated that the home would have had to be rented 65 nights a year in order to earn the stated income of $60,000 at $925 per night. “Not sure I’d be thrilled to be their next-door-neighbor,” he says. Patrick Rocca adds: “Their crazy to have done this interview.” He gives reasons and they aren’t hard to guess at. But others ask why the two should be embarrassed to be Airbnb renters. As The Bulldog said earlier, this will not be everyone’s cup of tea.
