Low ceiling, if you are taller that 5'5" you will feel like a giant in this space. Because of the low ceiling the toaster will set off the smoke alarm waking the neighbors of your early morning luxury of buttered toast. You can shuffle your way to the bathroom closed off by the sliding barn door or just hop off your bed into the tiny bathroom, mind your head. In the bathroom you will find a kitchen faucet used to wash your hands in the tiny sink basin. Don't scald yourself in the shower and be careful if you drop something on the floor of the shower, you'll hit your hit on one wall while your bottom hits the opposite wall. Here's a tip that I learned. turn on the hot and cold knobs at the same time and quickly get yourself wet, turn off the water and as the steam dissipates lather yourself up. Turn the water on again being mindful that the water will shoot out water needles as your rinse off, do it quickly because the hot water will be used up and you're left with cold water needles pounding your body. Enjoy your stay! ##### Ardie B.
