Airbnb has called on Liverpool residents to rent out their homes to help soften the Eurovision Song Contest accommodation crisis.
Thousands of fans from across the world are expected to head to the city in May. After the initial announcement that the contest would be housed in Liverpool, hotel prices skyrocketed with some reaching upwards of £700.
Some fans claimed their original bookings made in advance were cancelled to accommodate the new wave of demand willing to pay a higher price. Since then, fans have struggled to find accommodation with many either giving up or turning to Airbnb.
