Great idea then!

Twin Oaks Place, Manila. View from 32nd floor out over Manila is incredible especially at night. There are even distant mountains you can see once the smog clears in the morning! ;)

Thanks! The "One-Bedroom Apartment" here?

I wonder if one is guaranteed to get it with a view or it could happen that you book and end up in a lower floor?

Yep, that's the one - I'm in the studio apartment - quite big though.

When you book you can ask the owner which floor it's on, so I knew I'd be on floor 32. They also usually have photos of the view as it's often a selling point.

Last place was floor 31 (Currency Services Suites). Was also up about floor 10 I think at St Francis PLace Shangri La - lovely apartment complex that is right opposite St. Francis church and Lourdes school.

Twin Oaks building goes well over 40 floors though I think. I can see the second tower through the large window here (that tower doesn't appear to have been completed yet). It goes way above me (at least 10 or 15 floors). I think if you are above say floor 10 you'd get a decent enough view. Warning though - even at floor 32 the traffic noise is noticeable, but not too bad.
