You're proposing that my solution wouldn't work. Maybe, but your opinion is based on just as little data as mine is, so neither is more valid. I still think my system would work fine, and this is based on helping work on systems similar to this in the past, but that's not really the point.
I want to reiterate that while I provided what I think is a relatively easy and doable approach, the burden is not on people negatively impacted by a company to come up with solutions. The simple fact is that most metropolitan areas do not allow short term rentals in residential neighborhoods as a matter of zoning, not to mention the fact that many leases prohibit subleasing of any kind. AirBnB allows a ton of illegal activity to happen on its network, and then claims it has no easy way to enforce the law. That may or may not be true, but it's like telling a bank that is laundering money that it's not responsible for fixing the money laundering problem because detecting it is expensive, and hey, they're just the platform right?
