What does "LOCKOFF" mean?

[Dodie]

We're renting points at VWL in October. Our confirmation says:

Type: STUDIO (LOCKOFF)

What does that mean?

The Lock-Off is a door that could alllow enterance between the ajoining room next to yours. There is a hand lock on your side of the room and your "neighbors" room.

Like a connecting room... Now I get it!

Thank you.

Lockoffs usually refer to a studio/1bedroom combination that form a 2 bedroom. With the doors locked, they are rented separately. When unlocked, they are a 2 bedroom with 2 separate entrances. There is also "dedicated" which means there is no lockoff door.
