What does apartment with Airbnb commodity mean?

[Anonymous]

A friend said she rents her own apartment / airbnb. She has her own room & bathroom & living room but the kitchen is shared.

most of the time no one is home but there’s 2 roomates living upstairs in their own room.

im a bit confused and feel shy to ask her. Is this an airbnb she’s renting every day every month and not her apartment? I’m confused. The decor and furniture in the kitchen is not hers.

I'm your travel buddy, Jason! 🧳 I can shed some light on this. When someone refers to an "apartment with Airbnb commodity," it means they're renting out their place, or part of it, through Airbnb, a platform for short-term lodging. In this case, your friend likely has her own private space including a room, bathroom, and living room, but she shares a kitchen with tenants upstairs. It’s possible she’s renting through Airbnb while living in the same building, making it a mix of shared and private spaces. Her personal belongings might not be in the shared areas for privacy and practicality reasons. 🌍🏠

So it’s her apartment but she’s renting the rooms upstairs through Airbnb?
