It sounds from your description that it is.However, because you also do personal activities in the room (play games on your desktop), it doesn't sound like this would pass the "exclusive use" rule.Playing the games on your laptop in a different room would likely qualify the room as "exclusive use" as a home office.Also note that in the future if you take this deduction, there is a simplified method you can use to reduce the records you have to keep - just multiply the square footage of the office by $5 (if it is under 300 total square feet).

One good test is take the monthly rent total for all units, multiply by 12.
