    We are at the point where our boys prefer to sleep apart rather than being "Squished" on the sleeper sofa. I know that at AKV, if we rent a 1 BR, there is a pull out chair in the living room but do you know if any studios have that option too? Just to be clear - We DO NOT want to put 5 people...
