Airbnb is a new system of utilization of real estate, and many, many people honestly have no experience with it, though there are many people with an opinion.I can tell you this... from direct experience and indirectly as a consultant, that for the most part, you'll find that Airbnb "guests" are nowhere near as hard on things as a regular tenant who gets "comfortable"... that is, of course, assuming that they are being managed well (slumlords tend to have crap tenants... bad Airbnb hosts (or under experienced ones) tend to have bad guests.That said, your tenant has shown you that there is a market at your property for short-term rental.
