Airbnb eyes truce with Barcelona as tourist hordes spur backlash

Airbnb Inc wants a truce with Barcelona. 

The home-sharing platform last year set limits on the number of nights that hosts can rent out their homes in London and Amsterdam as it responds to unease in European cities over the boom in informal accommodation services for tourists. The company will publish guidelines specific to Barcelona on Feb 7 as it seeks to agree on a framework for its service with Spain’s second city, a spokesman for Airbnb said.
