        "text": "The terms 'detached guest suite' and 'Accessory Dwelling Unit' (ADU) are often used interchangeably, but there can be subtle differences. An ADU is a legally defined, secondary housing unit on a single-family residential lot that provides independent living facilities, including a kitchen and bathroom. A detached guest suite might be less formally defined, sometimes without a full kitchen, primarily for temporary guest accommodation. However, most modern detached guest suites are built to ADU standards to maximize their utility and value.",
