Interesting application of a series of moral principles. I do think you've missed a couple of reasons some people object so strongly to airbnb though. This service has the capacity to transform residential places with families into transient or tourist destinations. Even if the airbnb guests revolving in the spare bedrooms in the house next to mine are quiet and pleasant they aren't going to be a family with kids that my kids will get to know over the next decade of life.
I really don't object to airbnb' s existence. But I do think people in some neighborhoods should be able to trade their right to run a hotel out of their house in exchange for a legally enforced expectation that their neighbors won't either. This is critical for certain types of neighborhoods and is encoded in zoning laws.
