Social media users call out Airbnb and Gwyneth Paltrow’s inability to address loneliness

People in the comments were not happy with this partnership. Social media users questioned this initiative as they do not understand how this one-night stay could help with one suffering from loneliness. One person wrote, “How about Air bnb and celebrities partner to buy a building in LA and turn it into a homeless shelter which will really impact the loneliness in the world of LA.”

Another commentator receiving over 400 likes wrote, “Who could ever afford to stay there? Gwen, this is instagram where normal civilians who can barely make rent each month, let alone eat…socialize. I mean you’re target market is probably celebrities and rich people like yourself. Most of us could only dream to visit a fraction of a house of what you live in.”

The price to experience a night at Paltrow’s guesthouse is currently listed at $0 as booking is not available until August 15th.
