A breakup has the potential to be an emotionally explosive situation. In other words, privacy is key.
Your own home is the best place to take care of this delicate situation.
In certain cases, however, being alone with the person you’re breaking up with might not be the best course of action. Reasons may include being in a short-term and short-lived relationship or being in a toxic relationship.

It’s also one of the best sunset viewing spots in the city.
