I was a bit confused by this...it's advertised as a room but is not separated from the rest of the apartment by a door (there is a small paper partition). If this airbnb means renting the whole apartment, this isn't a big deal, but the description says you are sharing the space, which would mean there is no privacy in the room. However, I never saw anyone when I was staying there (but I left early and returned late each day as I was at a conference). So I'm not sure what to say. My stay was fine, but this was also the most expensive airbnb I have rented (maybe that's just because Vancouver is expensive), so I was surprised that there wasn't a door.
