Hey guys,

This library looks really good, and I'm very much considering using it!

But before doing so, I'm wondering if anyone ever got airbnb's side on whether or not using their unofficial API goes against their terms of services? I would appreciate anyone's insights on this.

It's completely against terms of service and your account can be banned.

It is against terms but you can use safely if you use for your account only.
Test with dummy account until your code is exact what you expected.
I use this library with superhost account and no problems until now.
Cache your auth. Delay your requests. Don't do what a user at airbnb cound't do.
