Traduzco algunos avisos clasificados de casas de lujo en alquiler, pero mi duda es con la habitación para la mucama, llamada *dependencia de servicio* La estoy traduciendo como *maid's room*. No encuentro ningún sitio con clasificados que hayan sido redactados originalmente en inglés de este tipo de casas. Gracias

Note from asker:
| I also liked your answer, in fact, I'm using it when the houses have more staff than just a maid. |

: I prefer this. 'Maid's room' sounds slightly demeaning.
