Elevator goes to 12th floor, you need to walk one flight of stairs to penthouse floor. Smoking allowed on Veranda. Please don't smoke inside apartment. Sound proof door at suite 2. Suite 1 is very well isolated against sound by 2 doors, and has only me as neighbor. No neighbor on the other side there is only building 10 stories below. In other words, suite 1 and suite 2 are quite well isolated against noise. Safety is of utmost concern.
