Ideally, location is convenient to formal areas (ie: kitchen, grand hall, formal entry). The keys are removed but accessible. Often a small Ante room or transition off formal spaces, this could be a 5'x5' transition space, keep it efficient! Also, you never want to be able to look in and see the toilet or workings, but rather a decorative vanity well kept. And finally, we have been installing an appropriately sized ultra quite motion activated exhaust fan (no light) guaranteeing sound and odor control!
Hope that helps. Hardin Builders Inc.
