POV is great for all seasons! In the winter time, cozy up inside with large glass windows overlooking the city, and still get a glimpse of the balcony terrace with heaters and plastic covers. It's perfect in the summertime when the plastic opens up to expose the view-- and realize that you are overlooking into the president's backyard!
