Airbnb is running a competition for three families to stay in Chalcot Crescent .

The holiday booking site is renovating the property to resemble the film set for Paddington .

Locals claim the competition will feed into issues the street already faces with over-tourism.

The row appears to be "the straw breaking the camel's back," says councillor Matt Cooper .

The key to achieving a happy balance between locals and film tourists is for councils and tourism groups to be proactive.

Airbnb insists the temporary renovation of the house for competition winners will be returned to normal "in a matter of weeks" Small filming locations with fewer ways for visitors to spend money tend to fare worse.
