<human>: So, we have a 10 month old GSD pup. I am fairly well experienced in dog ownership and training.
   She has been pretty well socialised her entire life, recently had a very noisy barking phase which was almost entirely conquered by more socialising with people and other dogs plus an increase in training around distractions.
  
She gets taken to the local dog-beach frequently, two woodland/field walks per day plus lead manners/socialising daily. Twice a week she gets taken to the local pub(s), also to the nearest town (we are in a tiny welsh village so her exposure to stimuli is somewhat limited).  
We are currently working on her barking when the postman arrives, due to our location we have maybe a 2 hour window of when they -might- arrive. She alarm barks, we thank her, get her to 'down' & quiet for which she gets a treat. We are extending the period between 'quiet' and the treat day by day. 
  
I am slightly concerned about how to best prepare her for people in the house. We rarely have other people in the house as all our relatives live hundreds of miles away.  
Simple answer to my question would be to crate her out of sight, but her crate has always been in the kitchen.
  
  Our house has a weird layout, her crate is in the kitchen but the kitchen is first floor. It goes ground floor - guest/entertainment room, first floor - kitchen & living room, bedrooms & bathroom top floor. 
  I am looking for advice on how I can up her training in the next few weeks to get her to better cope with the upcoming situation.
  
  Obviously guests would be using the kitchen. Should I just put her crate in our bedroom and shut her away all evening?
  Should I try to introduce her to guests whilst on the lead?

Can you provide a brief rundown of the text in within 3 sentences?
<bot>: not had many people visit the house since moving in with pup, having a housewarming soon. How to deal with pup possibly not being too happy?
