Balcony vs "Sunroom"
My husband and I will likely be apartment hunting in the next few weeks. We are planning to have a cat. I've been browsing apartment listings for ideas, and have noticed there are a lot of newer apartments that have a "sunroom" instead of a balcony - has anyone lived with both types or otherwise have any advice on which is better?
My initial thoughts so far are:
- Sunroom is probably cleaner, from my experience the balcony gets so dusty and gross.
- Cat would probably prefer sunroom as he can sit up against the window and look directly out. Not sure if a "catio" setup on a traditional balcony is a thing or not.
- Would sunroom have issues with airflow when hanging laundry or futon? Do they typically come with a drying mechanism like a bathroom or do the windows open?
Thank you!
