Because me and my wife have an en suite upstairs.

But if we had kids, they'd have to go down the stairs to the bathroom and then back up the stairs and then like the guest bedroom.

It is a little bit of an odd layout, right?

Well, yeah.

And for like kids, once we start popping them out.

No, you'd actually be downstairs, so it'd be a little bit more okay.

But all I'd say is this comes down to money, right?

I bought this house anyway because I liked the house at that price, and it works really well for us right now.

If it had the perfect layout, as we're describing, it'd be more expensive, but it suits me as it is today.

And then in the future, I might pay the money to change it or I'll sell the house and move it somewhere else.

And so it's just to say that sometimes if we want the perfect layout and the perfect house, that's going to mean that we're going to have to spend more money on that.

And then we just have to consider, well, are people willing to pay the additional rent for that to be a good investment?

So it's just about to say, you're never going to have something that's totally perfect.

Now, just before we get to the bad stuff, anything else on your list of the perfect floor plan?

Well, let's talk about the bad side as well.

Some of the failures.

What makes a house floor plan bad today?

And I think one of the classics which you see in older properties is a long hallway that kind of goes nowhere useful.

So if I think about a classic 1920s villa,

What you typically have is a long, dark hallway, basically running the length of the house in between.
