Of note... if you have guests from Europe, the terms first floor etc don't mean the same thing. You may instead want to go with entry floor, 1st floor up, 2nd floor up instead. Because in Europe the entry floor is 0, so the next floor is the first floor..

Hmmmm. We do get quite a few people from Europe but probably more from US.

Piggybacking on this - make sure your bathroom descriptions use the word bathroom, not bath, if you only have a shower.
We had a Brit get very upset because 'en suite bath' meant 'attached bath tub room'. I had to quickly change any abbreviated words. And move the guest to our detached bathroom so he could take a bath. No showers for him.
Then again, en suite isn't popular here. So I try to say it both ways if I can: en suite and attached.

that was one of the reasons for the listing. I was very clear (at least I tried to be).
"the en-suite bathroom has a bathtub/shower combination (with grab bars) and a pedestal sink."
"This room is our only room with an unattached bathroom. The bathroom is private (never shared) and is steps down the hall. It has a claw foot tub with a shower attachment and an antique marble sink."
"The two rooms are connected by a Jack and Jill bathroom with a stall shower and a granite topped vanity."
"The en-suite bathroom features a stall shower and a large granite topped vanity."
THEN , I have a grid of amenities. One column is, "En-suite". Below is listed (in order), Yes, No, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes. Another column is, "tub or shower". Below is listed, Tub/shower, tub/shower, tub only, shower only, shower only, shower only.
