So I live in the co springs close to garden of the gods area. so is it better to rent out whole house for aibnb or rent per room?

Nope to me its garden variety Greed at its finest..

I came across a 2-flat with a basement that has been converted into garden unit with 3 bedrooms and kitchen and bath.

Airbnb is very clearly trying to make a walled garden.
