Parisian Airbnb hosts are raking it in this summer as hotels suffer

• Short-term rental listings in Paris have surged 44% since last summer.
• That's because of the Olympic Games, which Paris is hosting between July 26 and August 11.
• This comes as French elected officials try to get soaring housing costs under control.

Millions of visitors will descend on Paris over the next two weeks for the Olympic Games. Many will stay in the French capital's tens of thousands of hotel rooms, but many others are opting for short-term rentals, including Airbnbs.
