Definitely. It's funny how people view things on paper and then dream something completely different.
A co-worker was just in my office looking through MLS listings and, having not seen the units yet, was saying she prefers the 1+d listing so that she can have a guest over... meanwhile the dimensions of that den only provide for a small desk pushed against the wall.
Dens and second bedrooms are often a marketing gimmick. I'm sure many developers could build more far better 1 bedrooms with no dens, but they're able to charge a premium for units with dens because of the "idea" in people's heads. People often overlook what's really important and that's floor plans and space.
