Good riddance. I live in rented accommodation in Japan. A couple of years ago an Airbnb was set up next door and it was a nightmare. People coming and going at all hours, large groups of drunk holiday-makers having loud parties into the night, drinking and smoking on the balcony. After multiple calls to the owner of the apartment and the police the situation was finally resolved.
I definitely think Airbnb should have the limitation that you can only rent out a place you actively live in.

- vinceguidry 8y agoIt's really sad that AirBnB is used by most people as a cheap resort, and expect to have a resort-like experience at the expense of the local neighborhood who has no desire to live next to one. Can we just have home-share for people that understand how to be good neighbors, pretty please?
- dazc 8y ago'Can we just have home-share for people that understand how to be good neighbors...' Nice idea but, speaking from experience, it can work the other way around. I've stayed in a few AirBnB's where the neighbours have been arseholes. Hosts also, on at least one occasion.
- jessaustin 8y agoPart of hotels' professionalism is knowing how to deal with "hillbillies". Hillbillies are naturally attracted to cheap things and have no idea how to conduct themselves when they aren't in their own hometown, so they are a special problem with respect to Airbnb. One might assume from my place of birth that I am a hillbilly, but decades of travel and living in various places domestically and abroad have mostly civilized me. I do occasionally have to correct myself however.
- fjsolwmv 8y ago"hillbilly" has nothing to do with this. People from all "walk of life" are trashy travelers.
