Hosting overnight guests comfortably in a one bedroom apartment

Post date: 2018-10-13 11:42:38

My partner and I are considering a one bedroom apartment for our next place. It's almost 700 sq ft. If it was just myself, I wouldn't think twice about hosting guests, but with my partner staying there, it feels more complicated. It's just the living room and bedroom. When my mom comes, I'll kick my partner and myself out most likely to the couch so she'll have the bedroom. But with other guests, or if a couple comes to stay, what's the best way to configure that?

The living room gets a lot of sun, so maybe we could invest in black out curtains? I thought about a pull out sofa but I hear those are always uncomfortable or really expensive. I have a nice air mattress but I want my guests to feel cozy too.

Is there anything we can add to make a one bedroom living room stay comfortable? A partition when they come? Shelves just for them? Or should we just try to find a two bedroom?? Rent is a bit expensive and I don't anticipate a billion guests over the year, but at least 5 friends and a couple family members in one year. It feels more "adult" to have a two bedroom with a guest bedroom but ugh these days and with this rent prices, might not happen.

Have you been a guest to a one bedroom apartment and have some tips to share?
