More than space availability, I think people expecting to come with
families must be clearly made aware that, even if they book (meaning,
of course, pay for) a 2- or 4-bed room, that does *not* mean they will
have hotel-like privacy for bathrooms. I expect Debian people to be
(more) willing to put up with commonality, but their partners+kids
quite less so.
Yes, those are two different vectors (Do we have space? Do you really
want to stay with us?), both quite important to be made explicit.
