You can still rent out your spare bedroom of the unit that you're living in, but you can't rent out the entire unit while you live somewhere else. This remains in the spirit of the original bed and breakfast sharing economy idea.

However, you are limited to just two guests. I feel you should be able to rent a spare room to a family traveling with children. That seems to not be allowed.

The article says:

> More than two guests at a time are not allowed, either, meaning families are effectively barred.

Are they mistaken?
