I personally find the standard resins to be very unpleasant smelling, and breathing the fumes is discouraged.  The printer comes with several activated charcoal masks to wear when working with the resin.  If your living space is small and/or adequate ventilation is not feasible, you might have a problem.  If you can have a window open with an exhaust fan, it should not be an issue.   I have my printer in one room of the house, and while it will make that room somewhat unpleasant while printing, it is not noticeable in the reset of the house.
I have seen that there are plant-based resins that are supposed to be very low odor.  I have not used any myself yet, but I will be ordering some.
