Airbnb is pretty much dead. I don't see the benefit over a hotel. Unless it is some remote place with great views there is no point

the issue is, airbnb can never protect against that. The only thing i believe they should do, is informing about this when booking and maybe linking scanners, that can scan rooms for cameras.
