This is how it was advertised successfully for years as an Airbnb rental, without any complaints. However, one room is better used as a living room than a bedroom. If both rooms are used as a bedroom, then the apartment doesn't have a living room. Given these possibilities, this apartment has been advertised as a two-bedroom. When touring the property, you can view the layout and decide if it works for you. The unit's maximum occupancy is three people. Furnished Apartment Option The apartment is currently unfurnished. However, additional furniture may be rented, such as a king bed and cabinets, at an additional monthly rental fee. The photos shown show the apartment with furniture.
