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.

Expert Opinion:
beautifully landscaped, wider than normal wrap terrace. however, the width is not enough for large scale dinners or socializing. the views are good in parts, but restricted in others.

lovely direct living terrace, with outstanding landscaping. the distant views are great, and open. the distance from the open, useable area to the kitchen is a bit long.

Expert Opinion:
four feet of width puts this firmly in standing-room territory, which the single potted tree seems to understand. a direct living connection saves it from irrelevance, and the west-facing city views deliver a decent sunset consolation. room for two people who like each other, or one person who doesn't.
