The landlord rented a unit next to where he lives and made it airbnb. New business model?
Is this illegal (in Melbourne)? Don't you need some kind of license to operate a residential property like an 'hotel'?

What if one of the other owners in the block or tenant complains to strata that the place is being used as a hotel?, if it is then put to the executive committee at the next meeting it could be voted that there is to be no short term rentals allowed .
I know I wouldn't want to live next to a unit that is being rented out to strangers all year round
Not too sure about Airbnb, it seems like you are converting a very passive income stream (residential tenant on a 12 month lease) into an actively managed property business.

Is insurance ok with short term rental too?
Only issue I can think of is when you go to sell it. It might be cash flow positive for you, but it won't be for the buyer if they were to lease via conventional means. Meaning no capital growth from using this method.
I've got a 6 week booking coming up (Nov 26) at $480 per week and an enquiry after that one for a 3 month booking at $480 per week (and that's before I do the kitchen reno).
I just had a look on AirBNB around the inner city suburb of Potts Point/Kings Cross in Sydney at the calendars and most of them seem to be vacant with no bookings at all apart from over Christmas... are they really all booked out at all times?
I looked ahead about 4 months and searched the cheapest to the mid-price ranges. Do some areas get oversaturated? I would have thought those inner tourist suburbs would be in high demand at all times.
Scott - you are too nice! I just got $450 for HALF a one bedroom granny flat in Campsie on a six week booking(granny divided into two studios. One half $450 other half without the kitchen and bathroom $250)
