I've seen the opposite of the other responses here. A very good friend of mine has an Air BNB across the street from him that started roughly a year ago. Never had a peep of disturbance from the renters. Seems the folks that are on vacation are there to have a good time, not start trouble.
Same here. One cottage in the back of a house was an AirBNB for years and nobody knew! Another house, recently remodeled, was used as an AirBNB and, again, I had no idea until some of my friends rented it (they were working on a job nearby) and realized it was on my street.
Of course, I prefer owner occupied, but at least in my limited experience it was been OK.
That said, I think we've been lucky. So far.
