  Yes. The big ones are noise, littering, damage to property/common areas, parking reduction, increased housing costs for residents, and decreased community benefits (ex. it's impossible to get to know your neighbors and help each other out if your neighbors are different every week). Short term rentals are often (though obviously not always) filled by visitors who want to party and have fun in the city with little regard for neighbors and care for property, as opposed to residents who want to have a nice, comfortable place to live. This results in an overall decreased quality of life for your neighbors if you start randomly renting out to strangers. See other responses in this thread for more more as well.
