Don’t limit short-term stays, plead Airbnb operators

GEORGE TOWN: Short-term stay (STS) rentals remain a contentious issue here, with Airbnb taking exception to some of the guidelines proposed by the Penang government.

The portal for short-term homestays, which shared the proposed guidelines on its platform, said Penang should not limit STS rentals in strata buildings to only three days a week per reservation and up to 180 nights a year per unit.
