I'm traveling to NYC and debating between booking an Airbnb or a regular hotel. Is Airbnb in New York an epic gamble/mistake in light of the "crackdown" on hosts I keep reading about?

I am solely looking at "superhost" properties, so I'm not too worried about shady owner behavior or random cancellations. However, I know that most Airbnbs in NYC are technically illegal. That seems to have stopped literally no people from listing their places, of course.

How likely is it that I'll arrive (in ~a month) to find my host has been booted off the platform and I'm SOL with nowhere to stay?

The cost differential is about $400 for the stay, which I can technically afford but heck, that's a lot of street slices and museum admissions.
