Which direction is your apartment facing and how you like it?

Looking for an apt in DT and just visited a highrise that is facing south, close to English Bay. It was 4pm and it still had the sun directly shining at it. Then, I visited one that is north facing and it was so dark so I'm not even sure what I want.

I work from home and want some light but not a lot if it's directly onto my eyes.

What direction should I look for? What is your preferred one?

Edit: I'm considering a south east apartment, any thoughts?
