“While initial impressions might vary depending on the room, the attentiveness of the host can swiftly resolve any discomfort, potentially leading to a more spacious and comfortable experience. Shared bathrooms present a mixed bag-cleanliness can fluctuate based on fellow guests. I'd say its appeal lies in its flexibility and the host's willingness to accommodate.”
