I think one room gated off is plenty of room for the toddlers. Then put the pak n plays in the other room. I'm luck enough to use one of my bedrooms for nap time.
I think this is what I'll do. I am able to use bedrooms as sleeping areas, but don't trust the toddlers in there. We live in a bungalow house, so our bedrooms are upstairs. One bedroom is under construction, and as soon as that one is done we'll be working on the other one. I could make that an option in the finished bedroom, but would still like them to be on the main floor with me.
