I agree that Airbnb travelers and hosts need to trust each other. Many hosts/travelers are very kind and considerate, but there are also some that are not. The problem with Airbnb is that it forces the neighbors of the hosts to also have to trust the hosts and travelers. There is zero upside for the neighbors of the hosts, but lots of downside. Furthermore, the neighbors have no say in the matter, but their quality of living is directly effected by the other parties decisions and actions.
Before we bought our house, we read the deed restrictions very carefully and took comfort that we would be living in a neighborhood zoned single family residental and not as a business district. In my opinion, Airbnb hosts are not acting consistently with the intent of the deed restrictions.
