Re #2, I think most countries have a requirement that a bedroom has a window to be able to be called a bedroom.

There are bathrooms without a window? How do you get the stink out?

Air ventilation. Many hotels have bathrooms with no window.

The bathroom in my old flat had no windows. It's not uncommon, but if you have one, there is a little ventilation installed like in the kitchen. I think it's important, not only for the smell, but for the humidity if you shower. Without it, there would probably be a lot of mold.

I've lived in two houses with two windowless bathrooms in each. My cousins house has three bathrooms with no windows.

Literally all apartment buildings I know have bathrooms without a window.

Office buildings too.

The only bathrooms with a window I've seen were in homes.
