Sink in the bedroom - Would you?

We bought a flat (we live abroad) with an attic conversion which the previous owner changed into a sort of bedsit for her adult son. We want to convert what was his kitchen into a guest bedroom for our parents when they come to stay (as we live abroad they stay for nights at a time) and also perhaps to rent out to mature students for temporary accommodation.

As the plumbing is already there, it wouldn't cost much at all to have a little sink and vanity area in the room. There is also a random pillar we can't move so it could tuck handily next to that. There is a small bathroom upstairs, but it would be shared with DS, so I wondered whether their own sink is something a guest might really appreciate? But then I looked online and apparently it is really weird!!

So, if you were renting a room, or staying with adult DC... would you like your own sink in the guest room? Should we remove all the plumbing or stick a sink in?

If your guests will be wanting to shower am or pm I can see them needing to use the shared bathroom so not much point to have a sink

We had them in each room in our house when we moved in. Brilliant at keeping the bathroom clear of face washing/tooth brushing. Of course people still want a shower/loo but that’s only part of the visits.
