What's funny is every major city I've ever been in has had ultra-short term, private apartment rentals. AirBNB just made it extremely popular and easy to rent a room or your flat without putting a lot of work in.

I think that is the real innovation of the "api businesses" like airbnb and uber. of course, there is politics and unions and taxes (oh my!), so it gets muddied.
