Sallie doesn't need a huge room to herself in Milliways. Mike's suite is a suite because he lives with Mel and it is his permanent residence; Sallie's permanent home is on Shadow.
But there will be nights spent in Milliways, and there's no way Sallie is crashing on a couch. (Or Mike's enormous bean bag chair. Duibuqi, Mike.)
There's a room an appropriate size a couple of doors down from Mike's suite that Sallie ends up taking a liking to - there is a window with a decent view of greenery that doesn't make sense to Sallie since she thought she was on the opposite side from the forest, and room enough for a sleeping area and office area, with a separate kitchen and bath.
At least there is no furniture to clear out, but by the time her invited guest (slash hired consultant) arrives, Sallie has acquired a pair of rubber gloves, a bucket and a mop. The floor is almost done.
