Thanks for the pic, now let me tell you what's wrong with that set-up:
1. Separating the conditioned space like that causes the heating/AC unit to work even harder to condition BOTH which is a definite impact on her bill. Moreso on central air than on a boiler or heat-pump.
2. If there is no ventilation in the toilet room, you'd better add some as the moisture will condense on all the exposed surfaces in that small room and lead to mold.
3. You have multiple chases in the flooring, ceiling and sidewalls to allow for the passage of extra pipes/wires/ducts/etc. All these chases are holes which allow air to flow from conditioned to unconditioned space and take heat/AC with it, thereby increasing the energy used to keep those spaces conditioned. Many people with these set-ups in apartment complexes are actually heating/conditioning their neighbor's residences as well as their own.
4. If for whatever reason a fire breaks out you can be trapped in that little room since there's no alternate exit if the door becomes stuck/jammed. This is why they are considered unsafe.
There may be a few more things wrong, but I'd have to perform a whole house/unit evaluation which would take about 3-4 hours to really tell you what's wrong with that pic. How large is the house and is it run by gas or electric? What kind of heating/AC system? What's her energy bill like during the winter?

shyt... if you're not informed and/or haven't been exposed to some shyt, don't try to play the guy that's providing foreign information to you.
but you always risk the chance of getting the playful bytch who wanna disrespect the T.O.S. statement for my diddikk, and feel like it's okay to play Helicopter man with the shyts while you taking a wee. Breh be like
