We have room-ish AC: ductless minisplits. One big one for the dining room/living room on the 1st floor, room-specific ones for our workrooms, bedroom, and guestroom. If we turn them all on, the effect resembles central AC, carrying over to most of the house (save the sunporch).
All units are off by default. When turned on, they tend to get set in the 75-78 range. (Once I set mine to 80 during a heat wave.) Occasionally I'll set the downstairs one as low as 72 if I'm having a lot of people in the dining room playing games; AFAICT, "72 at unit" == "75-76 at people".
One of the many lovely things about minisplits is that they don't use up windows, so even in rooms with only one window when the weather cools off we can just open the window instead.
