Bath is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that is well-liked by history buffs and couples looking for a romantic retreat. It is well-known for its Roman-era baths, Georgian buildings, and attractive surroundings. The city’s sophisticated avenues, renowned sites, and natural hot springs draw tourists all year round, which makes it a great place for Airbnb hosts looking to accommodate a posh clientele.
4. Manchester
In the last year, there has been an 80% surge in Google searches for Airbnb in Manchester. The demand for short- and long-term Airbnb stays in the city is constantly rising due to the presence of two major football teams (Manchester United and City) and the numerous businesses in the area. Despite the epidemic, the ONS projects that Manchester’s population expanded by 31% between 2001 and 2020. This indicates that Manchester is becoming a more sought-after location for living, working, and studying, with a booming real estate market.
5.Dublin
Google searches for Airbnb rentals in Dublin have surged by 110% since the start of the year. In one of the cultural centers of the world, Dublin has over 1,000 properties already booked on Airbnb for stays. This indicates that the demand for available accommodations is very high. Dublin has both a flourishing tourism sector and a close-knit community. With a registered population of over 540,000 in 2016, Dublin is a city with a constantly expanding population that Airbnb hosts may cater to both visitors and locals.
