Soho resident says short-term lets make his flat feel like a hostel

Yusuf, 32, who has lived in his private rented building since 2017, now sometimes roams Westminster streets at night due to noise. He says the flat above him, used for short-term stays, causes daily disturbances like loud music and slamming doors. Westminster City Council is investigating the property, though no fault has been found yet.
