Expert Opinion:
the dimensions for this direct living terrace are decent, but very similar to many balconies. and with no pictures available of it, one can only wonder why.

Expert Opinion:
the location of this terrace right off the primary may limit its social use, but by no means diminishes it's private enjoyment. if views are good enough to make this a perfect spot for an afternoon break.
