Fiona Reddan, in The Irish Times, reports:

Dublin’s top earning Airbnb property is now pulling in about €230,000 a year from short-term lets, as new figures from aggregator AirDNA show no decline in listings on the platform despite Government plans to restrict its use through new regulations.

…The median monthly revenue is currently €1,997 for an entire property, or €880 for a room, falling to €1,143 for the lowest earners, and rising to €4,664 for the top 10 per cent of earners. Revenue for this top cohort reached a peak of €6,249 a month during the summer of 2018.

While Airbnb said its average Irish host earned about €3,500 a year in 2017, figures from AirDNA show that the earnings for the top properties in Dublin can be significantly more.

Gulp.

      Holy jaysus!
      Presuming Paddy’s night is the most expensive night of the year, I popped it in out of curiosity:
      €2,100 x 2 nights: €4,200
      Cleaning fee: €200
      Service fee: €698
      Total: €5,098

        How many people does this property employ? None, unless you include the owner. Property and earnings from it add very little to an economy. Rent seeking sucks money OUT of the economy.
        I agree, multinationals should pay a lot more tax but at least they employ people

    Are you allowed to have washer and dryer in a bathroom now? I thought that used to be classed as electrical danger? Or maybe it’s not a bathroom but a utility room? Or have the planning laws changed?

    Jazus , we just might quit the jobs and put the house on AirB&B and move to the south of France and live off the ‘earnings’
