Airbnb U-turn in Mallorca: What happens when thousands of holiday beds disappear?

Answer

Is it easier now for residents in Palma to find long-term rentals?

It may become somewhat easier in Palma if some former holiday apartments return to the long-term market. But that is not guaranteed, because some owners may choose to leave the market or sell instead. The effect on residents will depend on how many properties are actually converted into stable year-round rentals.
