Sounds dangerous and maybe somebody can verify that. It seems like the logical place to hide, but maybe not.
Our house (a Gardenia) has attic access in the garage, and the hallway off the second bedroom, no access from the closets. Also, after looking at the house some more, the second bathroom has a very narrow glass block window, and could provide suitable protection, but I still like the interior closet.
