I guess you did consider the possibility that by using Airbnb to find accommodation you were nonetheless perpetuating the system by which they have turned cities into "hipster slums"? The three months doesn't make much difference. I might be a responsible tenant when I use airbnb, whether in lots of short stays or one big one, but that doesn't stop other guests being awful. Your three months just incentivised the owners to keep it as a short-term let. Full disclosure: I have used Airbnb in the past.
