Should I let my landlord host airBNB?

My landlord emailed me asking for permission to host airBNb, which until this point, I've never heard of. My first thought was, how are you going to keep the weird ones accountable, and how are you going to background check them? Anyways, currently she wants to do it until she can rent to a long-term tenant, as she hasn't found any since December. As far as I can see, reviews for airBNB are positive, but all the video information is negative. My landlord said my rent will be reduced (I'm worried this will change if airBNB causes inflation, and then I'll be stuck paying twice as much as before). She also said she will require references from the tenants, and they will sign leases; but again, how do you keep them accountable? Just worried here.

To clarify, my residence is shared housing, not an apartment; so she has always rented out rooms, just always long-term, typically college students for 6mo-2years.
