It's an open concept and very spacious -

The living space has a queen sleeper sofa (made in the usa) the dining table accommodates 6 and can extend on both ends to accommodate four more. The kitchen is stocked with all the essentials even the locally roasted ( by Lamplighter here Richmond) Mettā Coffee - Stir.

As you enter the hallway the 1/2 bath is on the left and the 1st bedroom is on the right. Queen bed with our mattresses and organic bamboo bedding. There is a sky light in this bedroom, but don't worry we have created a curtain that you can open and close.
There is a sliding glass door that leads to the full size bathroom. The bathroom is large! Vanity, full walk in shower with two shower heads and a laundry closet. Should you need to use the washer or dryer or both please don’t over load them, they work great when filled but not overloaded. Our towels are organic bamboo and vegan ( yes there is such a thing!) also made for Mettā Home. All of which can be purchased. via our site.
The second or front bedroom has another queen bed and twin sleeper. This bedroom has sound proof windows. They are like storm windows and you can open and close them with the little latches. We leave them open so you can open and close the blinds.
