Divulging Address of offered Airbnb risk

It occurs to me that the risk of not knowing the address before booking is higher for the person booking than for the owner of the space. 
Who would book a space without knowing exactly where it is. Would you buy a used car without seeing the actual car but only on the owners description. Knowing the address is not an unreasonable request.

@Robert4655   I do not want just anyone looking around on Airbnb to see the actual address of my listing.  Only after a person books my property should they be provided with the street address.  The map for the listing shows the general location of the property and there are tons of photos showing the property itself.

The used car comparison really is a false equivalence.

 

Imagine being a burglar - you have the exact address, you can see from the calendar when the apartment is empty...etc
