Pretty good. Close to kitchen.. I have a large clipboard--16.5 X 17.5--which makes it easy to write checks, grocery lists, etc. Medically, I need to sit with my feet elevated and that is easy because I can prop them on end of bench coffee table. Close to laundry room and I can hear sounds of phases of washer and dryer. PLUS (and a big one) I have enough windows and a glass door to see into back yard and see what squirrels are doing. I like lots of light and the den is great for that.
