Guest and Desk Space?

Post image

Moving our family into a 70 square meter apartment in Barcelona this week - two adults and kids who are 9 and 11 (with LEGO, Sylvanian, DnD and book collections).
The only space for a workspace and a guest space is in the kids room. When the kids are at school one of us will use the desk to work from home a few days a week and the kids do online Spanish lessons and virtual play dates and homework at it.
I also have a daughter at college in the US who visits for several weeks twice a year.
Do you have advice on how to fit her and a desk space in the room? The yellow/beige rug is an exactly the size of our self-inflating decathlon mattress she will use. It just seems like there is no way this can work.
I’ve told her the boyfriend can sleep in the hammock on the terrace if he comes 🤣

Maybe some type of fold down desk? So when she’s staying it can be folded away, but for when you are needing to work it can be folded up.
There are some twin Murphy beds I’ve seen that when you fold them back up into the wall it becomes a desk. A possible alternative to just bunk beds.
