The safety aspect hasn't really come up here as we've had no tragedies yet, knock on wood.
The main issues on the host side have been squatters who refuse to leave, and people who put everything inside the place in a UHaul and try to make it back to Ontario before the host notices and they're stopped by police at the ferry
The main issue on the guest side is by now AirBnBs are more expensive than hotels, and you have more responsibilities (cleaning fees, putting the linens in the laundry bin before you leave, doing the dishes, etc.). It's really lost its business case, at least here. Just waiting for everyone to recognize that fact lol
