      I like the stalls with the privacy gaps more. I’ve been in too many European bathrooms that are damp and smell like shit due to inadequate ventilation.

        But it’s usually open at the top or there’s a ventilator of sorts, always one of the 2. Come to think of it, it’s probably a requirement.

          I’ve been in enough to see that there isn’t much air movement at all, usually made worse as there is a door to the stall with an undersized louver or no louver at all.

          It may be a code requirement now, but I’ve seen a lot of places where it either isn’t working or isn’t there.

        And we’ve all been in stinking, poorly kept stalls. They’re kind of separate issues.

          I’ve found the quality of stalls in the USA is far better than Europe in public places, especially when it comes to smell and moisture.
