Thanks for your response! I'm super excited to hear that some of those features are in development.

Regarding the "separate property" problem, I agree it is a bit tough to tackle however there's one way to distinguish it: does the property have a separate, legal address? A basement suite or a guest house does not, a condo or apartment in a 4-plex does. Airbnb could require hosts to provide those details in order to be counted under the "have the whole place to yourself" category.

Another way I was thinking you could do it is to add a higher level of grouping to the property type menu (the one that has "townhouse", "cabin" etc.) And clarify which of those types should be considered standalone and which are more guesthousey. Those categories currently feel super arbitrary, so they could use more structure regardless.
