Yes, good little stoves.
The preparedness Guru-ess actually stated "there's no need to worry about the fumes indoors" That's just plain wrong. The way you describe ventilating a room is the way to go, and with that approach it'll be fine.
Guru-ess also implied that this stove is one of the few ways of being able to store enough fuel. Pedantically she is right but misleading as its a whole lot easier to store bulk propane / butane in the much larger 10-13kg bottles. This is how we live here continuously as there is no mains gas supply to our house. The cylinders feed a normal Ikea bought gas hob which came with an additional set of jets for this very purpose. Looking at my log, the current 10kg bottle was hooked up on 7 September last year, so that's 8 months over the winter and its still going strong.
