Best I have found it - 51 down, bright, and they had opened the balcony. Sockets round the edges of the room.

13 down is barely usable and it is gloomy by early evening. Quiet, at least, if that is all you need.

49 down and sockets in most corners. It hums a bit in the afternoon but nothing headphones will not fix.

Quiet and bright but only 25 down and barely a socket in the place. Better for reading than working.

Loud at lunch and 34 down that kept slipping. Charging by the minute stops being charming when nothing loads.
