This is one reason I'm a fan of the french style: a separate room for toilet from the bath. This way one activity doesn't block the other.

  Thank you! I didn't understand what the issue was with just 1 bathroom. Of course, if your bathroom is also your toilets...

    I moved to Belgium where apparently it's also normal to put toilets in the bathroom, and I still don't understand why one would put the dirtiest place in a house in the same room as the cleanest place. I don't want to shower and brush my teeth just a meter away from the toilets.

    In the US, a "bathroom" is usually a 3-piece (bath/shower, sink, toilet). A toilet/sink (no bath) is usually called a "half bath" in real estate listings (2.5 baths is common in suburban homes - one master suite, one serving the other bedrooms, and the "half" near the kitchen or living area).

  And then someone wipes their behind and have to open/close two doors before washing their hands. Nice!

    You can have a sink. You don’t need a bath tub or shower to wash your hands.

      Toilet with a sink is called half bathroom in US. GP mentioned separate toilet. I've seen this setup in Europe a lot: https://q-cf.bstatic.com/images/hotel/max1024x768/214/214010083.jpg https://q-cf.bstatic.com/images/hotel/max1024x768/214/214010...
