This space is exactly as the pictures show. It is like a tiny house experience without the stairs. ;) Mary has made great use of the space. The bed is very very comfortable. A tip is to open your suitcase, get what you need for the night and next morning and close your suitcase up and tuck it away beside the desk. It worked great for us. Then when you are all ready in the morning, open the suitcase to fill it up again. Extra bonus for this spot is you can stay one night, most places on Salt Spring require a two night stay.
