I’ve been running two airbnbs for two years, with over 1000 nights hosted, and I’ve had none of those things. The worst that’s happened is a guest broke a chair, which they apologised over and paid for.

People are generally decent.

Some evidence of that would be that AirBnb has been growing for almost 15 years. If people were not generally decent, the business would never have scaled to this level.

My neighbor let his apartment out on AirBNB and the people who stayed there started a fire in the fireplace and didn't open the flue. I had to crawl out a smoke filled hallway.
