English term

townhouse

English to Romanian Other Tourism & Travel tip de cazare
Unfortunately I do not have context. It's just this word used by an app. to classify room names.
Rezidenta/locuinta urbana would be my idea but it does not sound not very natural in Romanian.

Any suggestion would be much appreciated!

„Townhouse” este altceva decât un apartament. Aprtamentul poate face parte dintr-un „townhouse”: „The distinction between living units called "apartments" and those called "townhouses" is that townhouses usually consist of multiple floors and have their own outside door...”

Presupun ca este descrisa camera care face parte din 'townhouse'. Depinzand de context, in Romania echivalentul real al unui 'townhouse' este aprtamentul tipic dintr-o zona rezidentiala fara pretentii. Deasemenea, difera de la tara la tara (sursa). Vezi definitia din Wikipedia

„Today, the term "townhouse" is used to describe units mimicking a detached home that are attached in a multi-unit complex. The distinction between living units called "apartments" and those called "townhouses" is that townhouses usually consist of multiple floors and have their own outside door as opposed to having only one level and/or having access via an interior hallway or via an exterior balcony-style walkway (more common in the warmer climates). ”

Am propus „imobil” tocmai pentru că nu este orice tip de casă/locuință urbană.
Imobil are o conotație mai apropiată de ceea ce înseamnă „townhouse” în engleză - „townhouses usually consist of multiple floors”
IMÓBIL ~e n. 1) Construcție pentru locuit (cu mai multe etaje) (DEX)

Pe când „locuință” poate fi de orice fel, chiar și apartment.

neutral Mihaela Ghitescu : Imobil este un termen foarte general, nu indica utilitatea de locuinta
