Although I was a bit sceptic in renting a room in a shared apartment (previously rented some studios) I found out to be a very good experience. I lived in Ainis's apartment for a bit more than one month and I enjoyed total privacy and access on all utilities presented in the rent announcement. Bathroom is generally used by guests and as for the kitchen, somehow we were having a different schedule, so we rarely met each other in the kitchen.
Bottom line, it was an experience that I would repeat with no hesitation.
