How do you feel about neighbor renting on airbnb?

I purchased a townhome, no HOA, but the sellers didn't disclose that there is a covenant (community rule) that says no short term rentals. I rented a spare room on airbnb to help with my mortgage. A neighbor (couple) seems very unhappy about it, they put an aggressive note on my door saying I shouldn't airbnb (then I learned about the covenant). Technically it's not illegal, because there is no HOA. What should I do in this case?
Edit: We only rent a spare room and still live in the house. We make sure our guests are vetted carefully, and no one has caused any noise so far (due to our location, people who rent our place tend to be older people), absolutely no party and quiet time after 10pm.

If you didn’t sign onto this community rule, it’s not legally binding, btw, threats of lawsuits fly in our HOA all the time, but no one ever really sues. What would they sue for anyways?
