#2If you are concerned about cameras in Airbnbs, consider picking up a camera detector off Amazon for ~$30.
They are basically a ring of super bright LEDs with a colored lens in the middle you put up to your eye and scan around the room. The light reflects off the curved glass of the lens and the filter helps you see it.
The less effective but impromptu version of this is just holding a super bright flashlight between your eyes (facing out), but you kinda need to have to done it before to know what to look for.

If you search Amazon for "camera detector" there are multiple vendors selling one that has the form factor of a Zippo lighter.
This is the professional version (~$1500), for comparison: https://www.selcomsecurity.com/en/products/data-leakage-chan...

#6Or just go to a hotel! I have a condo in a building where most of the units are listed on Airbnb or Booking.com, quality of life for residents like me has been drastically reduced by noisy tourists that come for a weekend trip and have no regard for keeping it quiet or keeping the shared spaces clean. I hope more cities begin to ban Airbnb. Tourists belong in hotels not in buildings where families try to live their daily lives and have to go to work. I've had to call the police on party goers and notoriously have to knock on noisy doors, I seriously hope Airbnb goes bankrupt and that cities ban the whole business model.

The problem is that the city as a whole benefits from the increased tourism (while you and I languish in the noise polution).
My city actually prohibits the use of residential buildings for short-term lets by planning permission. Though as far as I can tell despite the hundreds of air bnb listings nobody has actually applied for it!
I've appealed for enforcement to the local govt and am hopeful that this will resolve my issue. :-)

#9I guess requiring a license to run a hotel or a cab company do have a reason after all. /s

In many cities apartments are normally owned through some kind of co-op with a board that decides things. If that’s the case then I wouldn’t buy one in a building that allows more than temporary subletting. This is the case at least in Sweden, i.e it’s pretty hard to buy-to-let, and that’s normally a good thing (also for price stability).
