Explanation:
I haven't found any dictionary support for this yet, hence the 3, but "facility" is a suitably vague word.

I think it's a mistake for "estancia", meaning a large room.

It is not the exact meaning, but it is close. I found out that it meant a fixed location. Based on this, I only graded this answer as a 2 and not a 4 since I didn't use it.
