There's a difference between (long-term) renting and airbnb.

Just ask the neighbours, who normally don't care about long-term renters and complain a lot about ever-changing tourists and all the issues that brings (from safety to loud parties).

You cannot have a factory in the middle of a residential zone, why can you have (what is effectively a single room) hotel?

I lived from 2014 to 2016 in a really cosy flat with a sloped ceiling in downtown Lisbon. I literally moved away from there solely because the unit beneath mine turned into an AirBnb rental and there were constant loud parties all night long pretty much every other day. Not to mention people leaving the building door open, the rapid degradation of the stairwell with all the tourists dragging their suitcases (and the fact that the parties often extended to the stairwell).
