For a holiday apartment in Bukovina, information about the size, room layout and available living areas indicates whether rooms are separate or shared. The size describes the extent of the accommodation, while the room layout shows how the rooms are arranged. Available living areas supplement this description with the designated rooms for spending time. Separate rooms are listed as a distinct detail alongside shared areas; these terms imply no other characteristics. The description therefore remains focused on the spatial organisation stated in the respective listing. Holiday apartment, size, layout and living areas refer to different details and should not be understood as synonymous features.
