THE SEMI-PRIVATE ROOM
-----------------------------------------
This westward-facing room is full of natural sunlight, approximately 11 x 10, 110 sq ft (10 sq m, 10 qm) and has a new twin-size (single) bed with a another twin bed tucked underneath (which converts into 2 twin beds or a king bed once joined). This room was originally part of an 11 x 24, 264 sq ft large living room and is now separated by almost-ceiling-high armoires to create some privacy (see pics) and does not have a physical door. Most often, the space on the other side of the armoire will be used for sleeping as well.
Although, this space has accommodated 3 guests on a budget, it is best suited for two adults or two adults and a child. When there are 3 guests, this space can feel really tight.
