I used to live next to an airbnb and it sucked. Guests are constantly loud at night, make a mess in the hallway and steal packages. It was a nightmare and one of the main reasons I searched for a new apartment.
A college fraternity rented the house via AirBnB for two months. Parties every night waking us up constantly. They somehow knocked down a 100’ length of fence between our property and theirs. Left trash on the street, ravaged by racoons - I was still picking up old mini bottles up until we sold last month.
I tried being neighborly and politely asking them to respect the neighborhood… they drunkenly tried to fight me. I tried engaging zoning, nothing could be done. I tried engaging AirBnB support - they promised to send off to the owner to inform them. Weeks went by, nothing. Problems night on night affecting multiple condo buildings.
I, finally, decided to engage in clandestine activities which caused them to abate their outside ragers.
Finally, the week after they paid their last payment the host terminated their stay - I know because I could hear them screaming at the host on speaker-phone: “Well I’m sOrRy on pissed on your own!”
I now understand that the owners have some strong financial incentives to ignore shitbags… never again will I tolerate AirBNB zoning requests.
Awful experience. Constant noise. Partying. Kids and babies crying. Leaves garbage outside their door. Cleaners making noise. Constant check ins and check outs.
In general, the feeling that random strangers coming in and out is not a good one in a private residence condo building.
