Sleeping in a crate in the living room and she’s loving it…but I feel horrible

I just adopted a 4 month old German shepherd mix on Saturday and her previous foster mom let me know that she was crate trained and sleeps through the night without a problem in her crate. I wanted to keep the crate routine for bedtime (my fiancé and I doesn’t necessarily want her in the bed). I decided to put a crate in the living room and a crate in our bedroom, but for her first two nights she was scared to go upstairs (lived in an apartment, not used to stairs) so I didn’t force it and I let her sleep in the crate in the living room and I slept on the couch next to her for her first night. For her second night, again afraid to use the stairs, she slept in the living room crate but this time I slept in our room and she still did great, went right to sleep no whining or crying. Tonight is the third night and she was doing the stairs all day, so I decided to put her in the bedroom crate to sleep, but she barked and barked until I let her out. She ran right downstairs and into her living room crate and is now laying down and sleeping. My question is, is it normal/okay for her to sleep in the living room by herself? Is it because she is still getting used to the new home/me? I feel bad leaving her down there, but she seems content.
