Own front door to your unit, I think. > Isn't this tag doing the same as rooms: under the hotel tag? Yes. Actually https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:tourism%3Dapartment recommends "number_of_apartments=* the number of holiday apartments in the building" which also is the same thing as building:flats.

A granny flat is a self-contained flat, sometimes inside the house, sometimes as a separate, small, free-standing building in the backyard where "Grandma" lives] Thanks Graeme ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging

"usually" as you said. somes houses host 2 units. it's again the issue with missing "default values" If you don't add it, you never known if it's the default value or a never-survey tag. ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging

Re: [Tagging] building:flats
Terminology does seem to vary around the world with apartment, flat, unit all being interchangeable, I see the building:flats tag as the number of self-contained residential units (where a unit has it's own front door, kitchen, toilet (room) and bathroom). I wouldn't recommend building:flats=1 on a house, according to the wiki house is already "A single dwelling unit usually inhabited by one family."

Sounds like any kind of building .. that has a number (1?) of residential "units". Could be anything residential - a single family home with that description qualifies. And changing the description .. well you'd have to see if the past tagged object meet the new description. Good Luck. Personally I'd not use that tag, does not define it self well enough. ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
