Finding the right space for music recording can be challenging, especially for artists considering options like Airbnb for their studio needs. While Airbnb does not outright restrict its properties from being used as recording studios, it presents certain limitations. "Airbnb allows guests to book properties for a variety of purposes; using a rental as a music studio falls into something of a gray area," states the source.
Airbnb booking is traditionally meant for overnight stays rather than by the hour, which complicates matters for musicians needing short-term studio use. Properties are often in residential areas, where noise complaints and property damage risks may occur, further complicating the use of Airbnb for recording purposes.
The platform Peerspace offers an alternative, specifically catering to creative needs. The service allows hourly rentals, avoiding the complications of full-day bookings. "Recording studios on Peerspace typically cost $60 to $80 per hour," offering transparency and flexibility that Airbnb does not provide for this use case.
Peerspace boasts advantages such as soundproof environments and access to professional equipment without the legal or zoning issues associated with Airbnb rentals. Many Peerspace listings include added perks like in-house engineers and professional recording setups, a stark contrast to the potential policy violations on Airbnb.
Ultimately, for those seeking a convenient and reliable recording space, Peerspace appears to offer a more suitable solution than Airbnb. "No more worrying about unnecessary hoops or restrictions," concludes the discussion.
