You can have a better 3D imaged idea of the place by entering "Google Earth" searching for "Avenida Beira Mar, 1225" zooming enough to see clearly the map of the road close to the ballon locating the apartment, draging and droping the orange colored man icon to the street close to the ballon. In that way you enter "street view mode" and can view the all place and surroundings. Our balconies are located in the building's front view facing West Southwest and are marked with a green framing in one of the photos in this site to be better located.
