I love that I fly in and out Italy without anyone giving a damn about who I am, but renting a place to stay suddenly makes me a potential terrorist and it’s absolutely crucial to verify my identity (because your random airbnb host would be great at recognising a fake ID from Latvia). Ridiculous.

Padlocks and key boxes? I have an airbnb in the Caribbean, the door lock has a keypad, just enter the code and hey presto, cost was $45, I could operate it all by wifi for a bit more.

Had this recently in Italy, it is annoying from a convenience perspective.
Not sure what an AirBnB host is going to do.

I’ll take the inconvenience factor. I have a feeling when guests are checking in in-person with some rep from the owner, it’ll change the whole dynamic of who runs which Airbnb and how much they are monitored for quality.
As a long-time Airbnb customer, I’ve seen the quality of places go so far down over the years. And this business-like mentality lately hasn’t been good for anyone except the owners making money. That was never the spirit of the company (in the beginning), and it’s been pricing locals out.
I wish Florida would adopt the same rules tbh, but of course this government would never do that.
