It's just a toilet off any communal room seems odd to me. It's like, if you need a poo, you can normally leave the room, and people don't know where you are going or why - you could be going to a bedroom, or outside, or the kitchen. But in open plan, everybody knows you're having a ****. And if it's a smelly one, they will know when you open the door.
I looked at a house in Brazil many years ago, when I was thinking of starting a new life there (quickly decided that was a crazy idea) and one house had a toilet right in the middle of the living room. Not the corner, but bang in the middle. Totally weird. Like the builders had no idea how to design a house. I think the same house had grass and water in the front hall too, and dodgy, easy to remove, wooden bars in place of one window. Totally strange.
