Loft bedroom versus true 1 bedroom - need your advice

[Ryan F.]

Hello everyone. 

We are converting the upstairs of a garage into a rental suite. Completely renovated. My partner and I are differing on which way to do the layout.

From my studies, a true 1 bedroom would maximize our rental income.

However she believes we should make it all open with a little staircase that leads up to a small bed. You can see an idea of what she means here -> http://www.remodelista.com/files/styles/733_0s/pub...

Am I crazy or would that loft bedroom take away a decent sized chunk of demographic who would never want to sleep in that little loft ores (or climb the stairs to get to it every night).
