We're in a small 3br 1 living area cottage with 2.9 kidlets in it. We moved from a larger house so our furniture is big. Wasn't an issue in the old house, we had two living areas and heaps of room for visitors - used a blowup mattress.

In THIS house, since my family isn't broke so when they visit, they stay at the local pub. At least they get their own bathroom that way
