AKV-Difference between "standard view" and "value" please?

[Micca]

Planning a January trip to AKV. Looking at a 1 bdr standard view, or a 2 bdr value. Other than the additional room, what's the difference? TIA!

Value room can have EITHER savanna, pool, or parking lot view and are only located in Jambo House.

Also, the one bedroom value can only sleep 4, as they do not have the pull out sleeper chair.

I have read here that standard view at Kidani is parking lot or pool and standard view at Jambo is pool view.

I'm booked for a week in a standard view at Jambo the last week of January

The Kidani Standard view 1BR has two bathrooms and a sleeper chair in the living room. Whereas the value 1 BR is 3 feet shorter than a standard villa at Jambo House and has only one bathroom. There have been posts that the value villas are pretty crowded as the furniture is the same but sized for a larger room.

Here's the square footage:

2 Bedroom
AKV Kidani - 1173
Jambo - 1075
Value - 945

1 Bedroom
AKV Kidani - 807
Jambo - 710
Value - 629

Studio
AKV Kidani - 366
Jambo - 365
Value - 316

The Jambo House villas are smaller than the equivalent at Kidani Village to begin with and then the value villas are even smaller.
The villas at Jambo house are located on the 5th floor (concierge on 6th floor). The villas at Kidani can be located on floors 2 through 6. Many DIS members have stated that they have a much better view of the animals on the lower floors at Kidani than at Jambo House.

A main difference between value and standard is size of room. Jambo 1BRs other than value are about 712 sq ft. Kidani 1BRs are about 810. The value 1BRs (only at Jambo) are about 620. The studios (and thus 2d bedroom in a rwo bedroom) at both are close to 360 except value are only about 315.
