It's not really a "house" - It's Kolat Towers. Kolat Towers is a pair of wizard towers surrounded by a small compound. There's a lot of spare rooms.

But... what is railroading here ?

Just a little joke.

"Railroading" is when the DM of your game removes choices, or only gives you once choice for where the story is going next. Because "your place" and "my place" are the same place, the joke is that this is a railroad story - it's just a joke, not serious.

Huh. Okay. I missed that joke sorry with the title. But yeah, thank you, I know what railroading is.
