> Airbnbs in Barcelona, Lisboa

Lots of places in Lisbon list their AL number, indicating they are registered places for renting out.

Locals have been priced out of Lisbon for a long time, but seems like restricting airbnbs has not limited it too much.

Can't say for Lisboa, but in Algarve, half of those AL numbers aren't the actual owners. AL numbers actually work with residents/landlords and they rent the place, but it isn't owned by them, and give a cut to the owners.

(Know a few friends that would bunch up together in a house for July/August as 'entrepreneurs' would offer them 1-2K for their house for those two months to manage it and rent it themselves in AirBnB and other platforms)
