I see something similar in Prague. Many new furnished (unusual) apartments in center for long term rent.

But I think Airbnb is just a scapegoat for broken market. You can see similar problems in commercial rental market.

I agree AirBnB is used as a scapegoat. The problem in fact is much more complex - low interest rates, house flipping, short term rentals, influx of foreign cash to the countries where real estate prices are only catching up with rich countries, and to the countries where prices dropped significantly after 2008, local oligarchs parking cash in real estate, and many more reasons...
