8/10 Good

"Beautifully updated but the floor space in the room with two queen beds very limited. Designed where space went to the bathroom. Beds pretty much up against the wall. So if you’re sharing a bed be ready to fit through narrow space between the bed and wall or crawl over the person you’re in bed with."
