You will have the entire space. For those concerned about COVID-19: I owned a commercial and residential cleaning company for many years, and do the cleaning and laundry myself. I use a hospital-grade disinfectant that is rated to kill Human Coronavirus. I disinfect all door knobs and handles, light switches, faucets, sinks, shower, toilet, and other high-touch areas. I wash all bedding, blankets, and shower curtain after each stay.
