We were on the 5th floor on the north side, somewhat in the middle of the 'arm'. The pro's were being near the roaring forks, and we could see decently the EWP. The con's - the room was always dark - no sunlight ever got through, we were far from the 'quiet pool' (the villa's pool). In the end, I didn't enjoy the courtyard as much as I expected. I found it too noisy and maybe not worth the extra money. My two cents!
