I’m not huge on “view” since we don’t spend much time in a room. But realize there is no privacy in those rooms, so if anyone is lounging around in their pjs or…whatever….everyone is looking right at you from the path. I think we might feel like we needed to keep the curtains drawn and I wouldn’t like that. Also, idk if you really can access the pool from your patio and get back in that way. We found it easy enough to pop up and down the stairs from 5. I think 2 or 3 would give you a little privacy, maybe a tiny bit more view, AND pretty easy access. My two cents.
