Sure, but its NYE. In most neighbourhoods there are going to be parties anyway, AirBnB or no.

Many, but I wouldn't say most. There are a few generally quiet areas here where I wouldn't expect loud NYE parties, but there are houses taken over for AirBnB use (one of which is near me, and he needs to get his lock-box fixed, I've been asked about it a few times which begs another question: why do AirBnB renters think a random local walking by will be able to help them get in?!).

Probably because there’s no dedicated front desk and any random person could be the host is my guess?

I don’t know. I prefer my accommodations with a front desk, if only because I tend to check in at odd hours and it’s nice having a human available to help if there are issues.

By comparison AirBnB seems like those annoying customer service “AIs” who are always eager to let you know how much you can get accomplished on the company’s website.
