- dntrkv 5y agoThey specifically point out the increase in crime is not from the Airbnb tourists.
- timwaagh 5y agoI read that a bit differently. They noted that typical tourism related crimes did not usually increase but other crime did.
- NiceWayToDoIT 5y agoHave you ever used AirBnb? It is not possible to be anonymous in AirBnB, to rent a flat they will ask you for multiple ID documents so they could confirm who you are, furthermore there is scoring system so anything fishy about guest or host will stay in the permanent record. I have used AirBnb a lot across the world, and overall I have not had any significantly bad experience.
- timwaagh 5y agoI used to host on there. A lot of guests did not use their own account. Of one such person I later found out he sold stolen watches. But I suppose uploading a fake id wouldn't be impossible either. Airbnb primarily relies on its review system to ban people. this unfortunately has nothing to do with what you do for a living (instead it's determined by the level of luxury you provide as host and/or whether you damage the place as a guest).
