Do Airbnb hosts stay with you?

In an entire house, the host will not stay with you. If the Airbnb is a private room, the host will stay in the same home while the guest is there, but the guest will have their own room. In a shared room the host will stay in the same room as the guest. As a guest, you'll want to closely review the listing.
