UK Rent a Room - does whole home qualify?

Wondering if anyone knows if the rent a room scheme applies to airbnb hosts who are renting their whole property not just a room/number of rooms? I meet all other requirements, main home, income property income threshold etc but the GOV.UK factsheet (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/rent-a-room-for-traders-hs223-self-assessment-helpsheet/h...) seems a bit ambiguous on that point.

 

For context I rent out my entire main home (only property I won) and while guests are staying there I stay at my partners flat. Thanks!

@Jack1963 I would give the Inland Revenue a quick ring. They can be incredibly helpful especially when you get through to their subject matter experts.
