Chicago BACP (Entire vs. Partial Dwelling when registering with city)

I'm registering as a new host and looking for some help with Chicago BACP — I have a single family home with a private guest suite attached. It's basically an in-law apartment with a separate entrance, kitchen, bathroom, etc and no shared space with the main home. But the building only has 1 address.

 

When I register on Chicago BACP, for "Dwelling Type" should I select "Entire Dwelling" or "Partial Dwelling"? I assume I should select Partial Dwelling since it's only part of the building at the address. But I'm worried this will make it show up on Airbnb as "Private Room" instead of "Entire Place". https://www.airbnb.com/help/article/317/select-your-home-type

 

If I select Partial Dwelling will I still be able to list on Airbnb as "Entire Place"? I think this is what makes the most sense to me but curious if others have different information.

Hi @Aaron945 ! As this is a global Community Center it can sometimes be a challenge to find someone from your area who can help with this. I'd recommend looking if there's a local Host Club and posting your question there as well. You can find the Host Clubs here: https://community.withairbnb.com/t5/Get-Local/ct-p/en_clubs
