I currently have a one room studio that is about 270 sq feet and I've had 4 guests (one couple) stay over for three different weekends since I moved in September. My boyfriend, cat and I both call this space home so it's already a little crowded!

I have another guest staying this weekend so I'm prepping now. There is no eat-in kitchen or really even any closet space

1) I did a thorough cleaning yesterday so everything feels less cluttered and I'm preparing a corner for a large suitcase to call its home while my guest is here. This will probably involve lots of stacking.
2) I bought a two-seater fold-out couch (Softee-Jennifer Convertibles) because I know that guests are going to want to come mooch off me since I live in NYC
3) I never give up my bed to guests unless they are parents of myself or my boyfriend. You don't want to splurge for a hotel? You pay the price!
4) I store warm blankets, clean sheets and two guests pillows in a storage ottoman. Works as extra seating too!
5) We literally only have two of each utensil so I guess eating out will be the way to go. It happens to be my birthday weekend so that works too.

I always make sure to fold the couch back in every morning, clean up clothes/dishes, every day and let everyone take their time in the bathroom since changing has to happen in there too.

Ugh, that table would be perfect for my apartment... if it were about $500 cheaper. Amazing though!

Awesome ideas! This helped me think a little outside of my normal wrapping paper or newspaper approach.

I can't believe they seem to have Manhattan, Long Island and Brooklyn and not New York state! How strange. Great recommendation anyway.

@pranav A lot of specialty poster stores will have prints like that, if you have one nearby. Additionally, if you just put the work into Google - something should come up!

I LOVE this place. My apartment is like the poor man's version of this.

Hmmm... I may need to remeasure my 385 sq foot studio if this is really 390 sq feet.
