Last year, during our long weekend away, my sister and I stayed in a cottage where it had only one bathroom, with the only toilet in it. And my sister likes to take her time in the bathroom. The problem is, there are times when I need to go NOW, so I had to boot her out of the bathroom so I could go. So yeah, it's important that we have at least one separate toilet.
We also both hate showering in the bathtub. We could live with it for a little while, but if we buy a house with that set up it will be one of the first things to get replaced by a nice walk in shower. Chances are that we have to replace the kitchen and bathroom. So we've set our budget for that. We can go higher if the place is fairly perfect; flooring in the living area, kitchen, bathroom. We know that we'll have to repaint the walls and maybe change the flooring on the upper floors.
