Expert Opinion:
although a touch narrow for a full dining table, the terrace is plenty big enough for any use, and together with the good views, and the mature vegetation, this is a lovely terrace.

Expert Opinion:
this living level terrace suffers from a serious identity crisis. while the access from the kitchen and bedroom is convenient, the 7-foot width is a deal-killer for functional dining. hampered by restricted views and cramped dimensions, the space remains more decorative than an actual extension of the home’s living area.

Expert Opinion:
the width of this wrap around terrace make it very pleasant, and the multiple access points make it practical, the one drawback is that the largest, most practical spot for entertaining is next to the bedrooms.
