A portable CO detector isn't such a bad idea for staying at places you aren't sure about, even if they aren't airbnbs.

Aren't most CO detectors portable? The only ones I've ever seen in stores are small and plug right into the wall like a wall wart or battery powered (or both)

They are, but there are models meant for travel, especially for situations like camping with a wood stove in your tent.
