As a user I love renting on these platforms, specially big city rentals. I'm sure airbnb style rentals contribute positively to the host city besides the sheer number of tourists. That includes the services economy surrounding rentals, which produce jobs in otherwise run-down places. Also newer tourist profiles, including long-haulers that engage differently with the city, from educational, to remote workers to health services patients. The whole change of dynamics has had a positive impact on tourism never seen before in places like Madrid, Oslo or Buenos Aires. It brings a fresh appeal to the old "life in the city" that is ephemeral yet profound and exciting. As a resident I despise rentals. I want them away from my neighborhood. I'm glad cities like Barcelona limit them, but I believe they should be, instead, completely eradicated from central or dense neighborhoods and be taken, if anywhere, to specific, well researched into, suburbs that could actually get a boost from the rental economy. That is, given such "suburban rental benefit" concept even exists... Otherwise, this fantastic hack into the hotel industry just rips too deep too fast into the delicate, slowly threaded fabric of our tightly knit neighborhoods.
