This is basically how I rent and I've also had great experiences.

I have rented a "non-Whole place" and I would say that was a pretty bad experience. Our room was supposed to be the only Airbnb, but two nights in, they rented out a room with a frosted glass separator next to us as "420 friendly" and the couple that moved in proceeded to have quite loud sex. We gave them pretty scathing reviews, which I am not wont to do.

Ha, that may beat my weird one. I was with an ex, and we rented a room in a home across from Golden Gate park. We cleared with the resident that we would be back around 2am, and that it would be fine.

At 2am, they got mad at us for making so much noise. THEN at 6am, they start blasting some ethnic music as they proceeded to fry food for hours and party. Turns out they were VERY Jewish and were celebrating the Sabbath being over. Surreal.

Exactly, I think sharing homes with the whole population is very problematic as on average you’ll get a lot of people who aren’t really into Airbnb as a concept and don’t really care.

Getting home at 2am happens, if you don’t like it don’t rent rooms for money. In my head I edited out the expletives from that sentence :-|

And how did you review the room?

Poorly, but Airbnb's website has poor support for historical reviews so I can't actually see what I wrote. This was 4 years ago or so.

I likely would have been kinder if it weren't advertised as "whole condominium".
