The guest bedroom (with a queen bed) and private bath are on the first floor of the townhome, along with the kitchen, dining and living room. Guests basically have the entire first floor to themselves. My private space is upstairs. I am rarely in the downstairs area except to pass through to enter/leave the condo or make a quick meal in the kitchen. (I dine upstairs.) For the 3RD GUEST, there is a comfortable, portable bed with mattress + memory foam available for a 3rd guest. It is slightly more narrow than a twin sized bed. Due to its width, it is not suitable for an extra large person. The kitchen is equipped with general cookware. If there's any type of specialty cookware you prefer, please bring along. Guests often bring groceries, particular food items and beverages from home. There is plenty of room in refrigerator, on kitchen counter tops and cabinet space for you.
