I've always maintained great relationship with my neighbors. I let them know what my plans were and I've always been very considerate. My Airbnb guest have been exceptionally considerate, responsible, and haven't caused a single problem or complaint. My long term renter before this was more disruptive to the neighbors despite my best effort to find a low key tenant. I was concerned that would have caused a problem when I applied for my STR permit, as the zoning department puts out a notification in the front yard that I had applied for a permit, where neighbors can call in with concerns, but them just not wanting one isn't a valid reason to deny it. I also like having a permit as if it were an illegal one all it would take is one call and it would be over. While with a legal one it would take at least three violations in livability court, where an actual citation would need to be issued. Like most listing I also state its very quiet neighborhood, with very friendly neighbors, and no outside noise after 11pm. They wouldn't bother me but I just want to be very considerate to neighbors. Incidentally I just met my new next door neighbor two days ago who is moving in this week and seems really cool. Some of the other neighbors also have also rented out my guest apartment for their parents over the holidays and leave rave reviews. They found it themselves on ABB, knocked on the door, wanted to look at it, and it was just easier for them to book through ABB as it was my first year.
