Airbnb Spawned an Ecosystem of Startups That Sweat the Details so Owners Don’t Have to

David Krauss had parlayed his Dallas condo into a successful Airbnb listing until one fateful weekend in 2014. Then, a couple of guests threw a party so loud it elicited more than a dozen noise complaints from neighbors, a police report and an angry letter from an attorney. His reputation in the building was so sullied he decided it was best to sell the unit – at a $30,000 loss.
