We are staying in a studio at Jambo house- 4 people. Trying to figure out where we can put our suitcases so they aren't in the way, but also accessible. In the past we've put a towel on the table to put a carry on there, but I'd like to actually USE the table...Thanks
 

We usually put them in front of the lock off door at AKL.
Do you remember if there is room for two laying down side by side? My people don't like to use the drawers so we are trying to figure what we'll have room for.

I don't think so, from what I remember....And that goes for all of them TBH...I'm usually the one whose luggage goes there, while the wife uses the closet, and 1 of the kids uses the chair at the table and the other on the outside of the sofa bed.... HTH:confused3
 
Share suitcases if you don't plan on unpacking. Like one suitcase is for Monday, one is for Tuesday, one for Wednesday and fourth is for Thursday.

Personally, I'd just unpack.
 
I'd unpack at least 2 of the peoples items. The coffee table is actually 2 small bedside tables that you'll have to find a spot for when you open the sleeper sofa - usually by the slider but depending on where the connecting door is they can go there. The bathroom sinks are wall mounted so I guess 1 or 2 could go under there if necessary. But I'd definitely unpack and use the dresser and wardrobe too.
 
Closet, and the bench for sure. Then there is an area where the lock off is. We normally use this for shoes but would easily fit luggage there. All of it if it was closed. Open is a different story. I would think 2 would fit pending the size of it. Also there is space next to the pull out near the sliding door. This does not give much room, BUT this is my daughter favorite place to put her luggage and is 100% out of the way!
We also tend to pull things out at night for the next day to make it a little easier in the morning to get things moving along. But that is just us. Hope this helps.
 
I laid mine down ( vs. standing them up ) between the sofa and the sliding glass door to the balcony. The bag was rather large but it fit vertically between the two without being in the way of the slider. You could fit two if you stacked them ( but it sounds like you'd prefer not to ). I also used the bench in the room for another wheelie bag that was a bit smaller.
 
so they aren't in the way, but also accessible
There is a kind of free standing closet which should fit a couple suitcases. There is also space right next to that, which would block the lock off door access. That space could easily fit 3 suitcases. There is space under the pull out, but that might be a little small, so not sure if it would accommodate anything.
 
Packing cubes have saved my sanity while staying with my family of four in a studio. I use the closet, but don't hang a lot of my clothing, instead, I bring a hanging travel shelf. My husband uses two drawers and my two boys use the remaining drawers and one suitcase.
 
Thanks everyone! I especially like the idea of a hanging shelf- and have a better idea of what to do. Appreciate all of the help!
