A fireplace would definitely be nice. Maybe this isn't such a good place to live. It's too big with too many rooms. I'd probably get paranoid and check all those rooms before I go to bed each night. However, it would definitely be a nice party place to stay for a couple of days or so. Yeah, M does have a place with an elevator open directly into her condo in which James Bond broke into. You would think a high level secret service personnel like her would have a more secure place (with a door) to live in.
Then find your favorite spot and settle down there. No, you could work in an aviation related industry and do it on the cheap during weekends but that's not quite as fun...
