Calling the police is a reactive measure -- you're already awake at 2am, now you're just trying to mitigate the damage and prevent it from happening again. With a short-term tenant, there isn't a next time to prevent, and chances are good that they'll just turn the music down until the cops leave (and possibly find ways to mistreat your property in retaliation).
