7. Private entrance – After all it should be a penthouse. Does it come with a private entrance and its own elevator? Maybe you have to share with a select few, but you don’t want too many neighbours.
8. Swimming pool – You might not have a swimming pool, although many do, but a Jacuzzi or hottub could liven things up.
