I got the shared space which was a sofabed in the living room. I was expecting to not have any privacy at all. I think the hosts made a conscious effort to stay in their room as much as possible, only coming out for dinner, where they watched a little tv and to use the bathroom. They could've easily just worked/ used the living room the whole time, but they didn't. I'm not sure it will always be like that, but it was a pleasant surprise.
