Is it hard to figure out how to get out of a house in an emergency? I mean, houses are only so big, and are typically one to two stories tall. They're not a large hotel with windows that don't open and halls that are nothing but doors.


I just got back from an airbnb in Amsterdam, where the windows in the bedroom literally had keyed locks on the inside on the windows. They look like normal window sliders until you look closely and happened to notice a tiny keyhole. I never found any key the entire week I was staying there.

Could I have gotten out in a fire? Probably. But it's definitely less obvious and less well-equipped than in a hotel for Directing unfamiliar residents out of the building


So you have never heard of apartments.
