Airbnb "private rooms"

I think it pretty much depends on the individual unit. Search for the units that have the best ratings and read the reviews. Those will give you most of the information you should need. I won't do the private room unless it has it's own separate entry, which many of them do, and I've only done that a couple of times. In those instances it was pretty much like it's own unit, an in-law suite type of setup.

Will never do a private room again. Recently did one and home owner was home. I was in the basement with my own entrance but still. I could hear the owner and friends making noise at midnight to three in the morning. I ended up checking out early

where is it located?

I could've misread, but it looks like he doesn't have one reserved yet. He's just asking for input on the experiences of others.

I would never rent a private room in someone's house. Sorry, no thanks. Whole house/apt rentals only.

I only do the whole unit rentals as well. The first time I rented off of there, I did the private room thing. Ended up being pretty awkward staying with a stranger like that.

I don't think I would ever do the private room thing. Closest I've had is a "whole home" rental and the guy was staying in his MIL suite next door. Problem was he showed up in the house a few times to get things and kinda lingered. He seemed lonely.

I've done private rooms in Melbourne and Barcelona. I didn't have an issue as I was travelling alone, but I'd probably not do it as a couple.
