Nuestra habitación es lindísima y comodísima.

From Lesson 78:Adjective intensification (-ísimo)·Spanish (Latin America)

Questions & Answers about Nuestra habitación es lindísima y comodísima.

Why does comodísima have an accent on the 'i', but the original word cómoda has an accent on the first 'o'?
When you add the -ísimo or -ísima suffix, the spoken stress always moves to the first i of the ending. Spanish requires a written accent there, so it always becomes í. Since a Spanish word can only have one stressed syllable and one written accent, cómoda loses its original accent mark when it becomes comodísima.
How exactly are lindísima and comodísima formed from linda and cómoda?
To add this suffix to an adjective that ends in a vowel, you must drop the original final vowel first. For example, linda drops the a to become lind-, and then you add -ísima to get lindísima.
Why do both of these adjectives end in -a (-ísima)?
Even with the intensified ending, adjectives still have to match the noun they describe in gender and number. Since habitación is a feminine, singular noun, both adjectives must use the feminine, singular -ísima ending instead of the masculine -ísimo.
Why does the sentence use es (from ser) instead of está (from estar)?
We use es to describe permanent or built-in characteristics. Saying es lindísima y comodísima means the room is inherently pretty and comfortable by its design. If you used está, it would imply a temporary condition, like saying the room looks pretty right now because you just cleaned it.
