I have reopened the thread for now, but I would ask that arguments about the legality of AirBnB be taken elsewhere (e.g. OMNI). The OP is asking about the pluses and minuses of such services for a traveler, and discussions of HOAs and rental contracts does not advance that discussion.
Further such comments will be summarily edited or deleted.
