Expert Opinion:
at 480 square feet, the second-floor footprint feels more like a private backyard than a typical terrace. the generous size and decent flow are high points, but the perimeter fencing can feel "closed-in." it’s a spacious, protected canvas that offers rare privacy, provided you can handle the urban enclosure.

backyard-like in size and feel what this terrace lacks in views it more than make up for in practicality.

Expert Opinion:
the size and layout of this terrace are good, but the lack of privacy has forced the use of unattractive fencing, changing those will do wonders.

Expert Opinion:
that door opens directly from the living room, which technically makes this direct living. but at 160 square feet with what looks like barely enough depth for two chairs and a potted olive tree, we are in balcony territory here. views are pleasant, neighbors can see you. morning coffee, not dinner parties.
