The Water Closet

Like many San Francisco flats, we have one main bathroom split into two rooms. There's a small water closet right next to a bath room. Both rooms have sinks, but only one has a toilet and only one has a bath/shower.

But we do use the toilet feature often, so it does need to be a functional room.
