Mercado Libre Apartment Ads

Quick (probably stupid) question. I am looking at apartment ads in Quito and there is a category I can't puzzle out the translation. For example, one apartment has 2 banos, 2 dormitorios and 3 ambientes. I get banos and dormitorios but what is an ambiente? The only translations I can find are environment and climate and neither of those seem to lead me closer to understanding it. Ayudame por favor!

Not related to ambientes but check out the photos for this apt (which only has 1 ambiente). This is the first apartment I have ever seen in my life that has had a urinal as standard equipment!

Conceivably, it means there are also a living room, a kitchen and a dining room.

If you don't buy that, you could show us the rest of the ad copy, as there might be a clue.

Otherwise, you'd probably have to ask the renting agent.

Every ad lists ambientes (usually 1 - 4). Here is another:

I first posted before seeing your reply.  When I look at listings in MercadoLibre for instance at:

departamento-suite.mercadolibre.com.ec/MEC-406190973-hermosa-y-acodera-suite-en-la-mejor-zona-de-quito-_JM

I see under Ambientes rooms listed like cocina, lavanderia, terraza, comedor, living, toilette etc. so I would think "ambientes" are just other rooms that are not bedrooms (habitaciones or dormitorios)...
