If you are considering a two-story space with a balcony overlooking from above, keep in mind the potential sound transfer problem that can happen when the sounds from downstairs reflect off of the walls and reverberate into the bedrooms above. You can help ameliorate this by making sure the bedroom doors are somewhat remote from the second-floor balcony.
