For 1, I’m not renting any place where I have to stay in a spare room. This is because the host is too huge a variable. Maybe some hosts I wouldn’t mind staying with, but it’s quite stressful to guess what you’re going to get and they could end up being a rapist or mentally deranged. Worse, some of those spare rooms are just not much cheaper than a hotel room anyway. Sometimes the only real advantage they have over a hotel is location.
