We've gotten a 2bd, standard view, bottom floor twice now and loved it! Got a view of the expansive lawns to the left of the main entrance. It was close to the exit door on the end of the building, close to the parking lot. The hardest part, figuring which hall to go down!
I love a balcony but I must say that the bottom floor patio was nice too. We had bunnies, bird in the trees, and several squirrels! It's far enough away from the road, so bus noise wasn't an issue and the trees gave us privacy!
