Hi there and welcome to YT. I have used the bathroom (downstairs) as Sissy's room since she came to live with us. She has a crate in their with the door always opens. When you go to the pet stores, they have many different types fo "furry" flat things that are perfect to line a crate with. Sissy also has a little bed in the bathroom, too - so I don't think she really goes in the crate other than to get toys and sometimes play. Her food and water and down there also. When she first came, I would put some puppy pads down also, just in case she needed to potty more often than I let her out. She quickly stopped pottying in her room since she uses the whole space. She rarely minded being in there, as opposed to locked up in her crate.
Do whatever works best for you and your little Baxter. Congratulations!
