Other things to note
Beds
The third bedroom has 2 stacking regular height Ikea twin beds which are great for groups who need maximum flexibility. Unstacked they become 4 twin beds that are low to the ground. The top two beds are comfy 8 inch pocket coil twin mattresses; the bottom two mattresses are 4 inch foam twin mattresses best suited for kids but would work for adults too. The beauty of these beds is that you can move them around to suit your groups or family needs.
