When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

at least one shower inside and at least one shower outside
A picture search suggests one and a half inside:

And another for the outside:

I'd stick to ''shower area'' and you don't need to perform a showerheadcount then.

Direct link to the picture of the inside shower. One shower is visible in the photo, while my reference to one and a half was an unfunny attempt at a joke.

: I'm not sure what one and a half showers look like! //That's what I have in my house, but we still call it the shower in the singular. Your link is to a whole page of pictures.

A (poor?) joke on the fact that the indoor shower has one stall but two showerheads available, one fixed and one using a flexible hand-held hose. As per pic linked.

jacuzzi pool or jacuzzi hot spring
not really, though seems to be here
That's my take on it.
No.

I suppose the indoor shower is for when it's raining outside.
