Good morning and thanks to @PrincessGidget for the reminder!

Lots of people on here love 1 bedrooms. I don’t get them. I don’t think I’ve ever stayed in one. Done lots of studios, 2 bed and GVs but never a 1 br. It’s not really that many more points to go up to a 2 br. Or you could do 2 studios for the price of a 1 bedroom, and sleep twice as many. Of course you’re sacrificing kitchen and w/d, but still. Maybe it’s just me, but I just don’t get it.

We never thought we'd do 1BR for just DH and I, but we've found the kitchen, w/d, and dedicated living room/lounge area make it much more enjoyable for us. We like being able to make a quick, lighter meal of eggs or grilled cheese in the room if we want. I like being able to easily do laundry right in the room if we get caught in a downpour or sweat through a couple changes of clothes, and it's nice if one person wants to stay up later, get up earlier, or take a nap if the other doesn't. They can go in the bedroom and the other can watch TV or whatever in the living room. DH or I still often have to do a few hours of work while we're gone, and we can have separate spaces to do that.

I've actually never done a studio and have 0 plans to do so. I'm way past the age of sleeping in the same room as my kids, especially for a week+ long trip. I will gladly shell-out the points for a 1bd or maybe even a 2bd, even knowing that the points value is worse.
