An Edinburgh resident has disputed a council investigation, which claimed that his three-bedroom flat is being made available to up to 13 people on Airbnb.
The City of Edinburgh Council served an enforcement notice to Thistle Street resident Ellis Johnson on February 16 alleging the property had changed use to a short term let in 2017 without planning permission.
Council officers said an investigation discovered Mr Johnson's flat was "being used for short stay commercial visitor accommodation and advertised on Airbnb."
