Thank you for your reply! I especially love your comment about the shelves as night tables!! And you are correct about the drawers. Your suggestion of using the closet is an excellent one! Interesting observation you make - vast majority of your guests are couples.
I have had 3 experienced Guests asked for couple arrangements. They also wear Host hats, and they are experienced hosts.
SPACE
There is about 175 sq feet of space. A double bed 54" x 75 " is what I am looking at. Queen Size bed (60 " x 80" ) overwhelms the room! As a matter of fact, there would be more bed than bedroom!!
Desk?
Almost all guests used the desk for laptop work and for eating.
Spending time in house?
100 % of guests spent their free time in their private bedroom. No guests used living room. 2 guests used kitchen for eating meals.
People stay for :
80% for tourism, sightseeing Montreal
10 % one night ( catch a flight/transport, scheduling conflicts,)
10 % work related , conferences
Drawer?
5 % and less used the drawers for clothing.
