Can't you just see it as a movie set, Cary Grant flitting from one apartment to the other to escape the bad guys? More prosaically, I imagine residents growing mini potted gardens out there.

I would totally re-word it, and say, "For our guests who appreciate a hearty breakfast".... I know it's more words, but anything else gives the tone of "over eaters". That's my thought, anyway!

Lots of cool bars and restos. I love the carvings over the door in picture #4 too.
