> They have absolutely garbage customer service.

I'm not a customer of AirBnB; I'm the neighbour of an unhosted AirBnB flat, that is let for most of the year. They dump food-waste in my recycling bin; break the common parts, leaving me to fix the damage; come and go at all times of night; and they intimidate me if I'm unlucky enough to meet them.

I'm OK with the old-style "couchsurfing" model. But the unhosted ultra-short letting model means that I don't have a neighbour, instead I live next to a glorified holiday chalet, except that a holiday chalet is usually let for a couple of weeks; this place is rarely let for more than 2 days.

I want to see AirBnB banned from the city I live in.

I don't see this as an issue unless they are being obnoxiously loud. Lots of people work night shifts or attend late night events.

Eight guests milling around in the stairwell as they decide where to go next or whether to stay is obnoxiously loud.

Yes, it's a damn shame those last guests were such party animals that they wrecked the entire place...
