I'm lucky enough to live and to work from a well-lit apartment (mostly by natural light). I was made aware of that when I recently visited the newly purchased apartment of one of my close friends who has the building close to his building only, I don't know, I'd say 10-15 meters away, anyway, close enough that the natural light very rarely gets to his living room. I realised then that I would have been very unhappy to live there (even though, in all other respects, my friend's apartment is "better" compared to mine, as in it is situated in a better location and is bigger and more spacious). Light and noise (as in, its absence) make a hell of a difference in our well-being.
