Yeah I never choose a shared house since I'm not traveling solo. If you're renting a room in a shared house I'd expect there to be rules and things you have to do.

The only bad experience I've had with Airbnb is confusing check in processes or slow to respond hosts. One place I went to had poor instructions and it was really confusing finding the right garage and the host didn't respond for hours and there was a language barrier. On the other hand, it was a huge really well designed apartment with a jacuzzi tub and still cheaper than a hotel so I'd still call that place a win.
