Pretty soon, I imagine there will be Airbnb Experiences ads that tout something about "living simply" with hosts that specifically do not have "smart" devices in their home.

Not exactly a listening device, but I was in an AirBnb once. Every time I would open the door, I could hear a notification being played in the upstairs unit. It wasn't the back door that caused the notification, but the actual door the apartment I was staying in. It was displeasing.
FYI, house owner spying on people using smart cameras has been a major problem for Airbnb for a good while now.
