THE OPEN AND CURTAINED ROOM
--------------------------------------------------------
The Living Room in this converted 2 bdrm flat is open, 11ft x 13ft, 143 sq ft (13 sq m, 13 qm) and has a new twin (single) daybed with an extra separate single bed that's stored below. Both beds have extremely comfortable new Sealy Posturepedic mattresses. A cushiony love seat (not a pull out) and floor mats are also available when needed.
This medium sized living room was originally part of an 11 x 24, 264 sq ft large living room space that is now curtained-off from the back half of the apartment. The large living room is also now split into two and separated by almost-ceiling-high armoires, creating two seperate spaces. This first space has a "shotgun" type feeling, since there's a need to walk through it to get to the second space.
