I just read the statement about not telling me it depends. Yet, it really does.  My market is the Mississippi Gulf Coast.  All of our properties are within 1 mile of the beach.  This area serves as the gathering place for almost all state-wide events e.g. cheerleader competitions.  Many people want places that will sleep 10+.  Often we get a houseful of young children here for some competition with their adult chaperones.  It's also a place where people come for family reunions.  It's somewhat central to much of the country.  

This area does not have a party reputation so it's rare that we have to take any action against a loud party.  As property managers, we watch over our larger properties closely when they are going to be full.  FYI, something to consider if you have a large number staying with you.  It's difficult to get the AC down to 65 with 10+ warm bodies, cooking, showering, going in and out.  Be sure the AC is well-serviced.

The smaller units e.g. one bedroom condo usually have a sofa sleeper.  These are great for weekend visitors from New Orleans and Florida who come here to gamble (12 casinos).  The smaller ones are good for two couples when our Coliseum has a big event such as Reba.  We have a good balance with various sizes.  

So, as I said it depends on your market.
