That could start an endless discussion since there is practically no
term which is both generic (including holiday-flat, business-
apartment, serviced-apartment but excluding large-scale aparthotels
and all forms of B&B) without being ambiguous in a transcultural
context. So I think at least for the tagging we must just choose
something semi-optimal. May be that "apartment" was not the best
compromise. Any idea of what we can use instead if it?
