Let’s get started!

Can you rent an Airbnb for a birthday party in London?

You might think Airbnb is the right choice for a birthday party location based on your positive experiences with them as overnight rentals for travel. But an Airbnb rental is more like a hotel than an event venue, and you most often rent Airbnbs in 24-hour blocks so you’ll end up overpaying compared to an hourly rental.

Another obstacle you’ll probably encounter trying to rent an Airbnb for your birthday party is that many Airbnb hosts don’t allow their rentals to be used for events and are focused solely on providing lodging. Even if you find a host that does, you’ll violate Airbnb’s codified ban against parties being held in its properties, which can result in a ban or fine on your part and the part of the venue’s host!

So as you can see, trying to rent an Airbnb for a birthday party in London isn’t going to be your most effective option. Instead, you’ll be better off using Peerspace, the largest online marketplace for event venue rentals in London and beyond. Peerspace is designed for the exact purpose of connecting people with event venues and other spaces that can be rented by the hour, with hundreds of stylish options in London alone.
