I have learned a lesson on what not to do. I am now looking for a solution. I have a 3-bedroom townhouse. Two of the bedrooms are small. The house also only had 1 full bathroom upstairs. It did have a full bath in the finished walkout basement.
I took the one medium sized bathroom upstairs and turned it into 2 very small bathrooms. In the master bathroom, I used a shower kit, very small so it would fit. It is very pretty and the work was well done, however it is very very small. Not everyone can fit in the shower.
My question is how do I market this townhouse with 3 bedrooms, 2 of which are very small and 2 very small upstairs bathrooms. FYI...I am not interested in spending more construction $$$.
Lesson I have learned is bedrooms and baths have to be a certain size.

By "not everyone can fit in the shower" I'm assuming you are referring to bulky individuals vs. more than 1 person in there at the same time (wink! couldn't resist).
Marketing is an exercise in psychology. You can't say, "No fat people...shower's too small". Even though I've never seen "hefty folks" on the list of protected classes it's best to avoid the appearance of any wrong-doing (and possibly the ADA which may cover it). Use words that are code for small: cozy, right-sized, economical, efficiency, compact. They should pick up on it and it sounds better than small, cramped, tiny, etc.
But if someone who weighs 400 lbs wants to see it, by all means, let them see it and decide for themselves what works or what doesn't. --173.19.xx.xxx |

I agree with the above response. It's about stretching the truth and letting the potential tenants find out for themselves. --204.27.xxx.xxx |

In my tiny studios, I say, 'There is not much room, and you've got to get creative with your decorating to make it work, but it's cute, cozy and comes complete with...' (yours: 3 bedrooms, 2 of which are very small, and 3 bathrooms, 2 of which are very small but very cute. Kitchen is blah blah blah."
Just call it what it is, and let people decide on their own.
Even so I had a larger lady look at one of the studios, the only one without a tub but instead just a shower, and the commode was rather close to THAT - and she knew it wasn't for her. --173.22.xx.xx |

The bathroom is so small you have to leave to change your mind.
Or
Two very efficient but tiny bathrooms. You'll appreciate it as there is less to clean.

Advertise as "European style" bathrooms.
Everything is smaller in Europe.
Just for fun look for pictures of "wet bathroom " or "wet room " with toilet seat under shower head.

Shame you couldn't make it into a jack and jill type where both bathrooms share the same shower.
Maybe you could do that with minor alterations if you can't rent it. Assuming both bathrooms back up to one another. --108.69.xxx.xxx |

Good point about European bathrooms. I once stayed in an AirBnB apartment in Paris where the second bathroom was literally a closet. There was a tiny sink inside the shower, which was also TINY, and to close the door - which opened into the room - was to risk getting trapped in there. But we were happy to have a second bath!
The second bedroom was an alcove in a hallway with a curtain that could be pulled to cover a single bed. We were happy with that too!
It was a lovely - no beautiful - place in the heart of the Marais. --173.22.xx.xx |

More than likely the rental price beats the competition.
So I would "trade away your high rents and join the smart private bath home". --74.96.xxx.xxx |

Econo bath.
Eco-Save the Planet bathroom.
Great for folks who loved the movie The Thin Man.
One stop bathroom - sit down to do your biznez, wash your hair and brush your teeth all at the same time!
Seriously: put realistic photos on the website. I'm using YouTube videos and it's saving tons of time from questions and showings.
