Regarding Apartments and their (lack of) features...

The only thing that made me very pissed is that you can't have TENANTS, or share them with another player. I wanted to share my apartment with my GF's char so we can say we are "living together", but apparently that isn't possible

I wish hope they work more on apartments. A balcony perhaps or maybe more item slot. I mean, there's room to improve, right?

A balcony would make the rooms not instanced anymore. Whatever the devs would add to the apartments in future, it will be inside the room.

They could include a balcony and still have it instanced. You'd just be seeing your own view of outside and there'd be no view back and forth between your balcony and the main housing ward area. It'd be like the way you can see what looks like a portion of the neighboring region when you're near a region boundary. It's really just backdrop scenery.

Like looking down at the lower decks area from upper decks in limsa. You don't see the people or the npcs, just the area itself.

I don't mind the setup at all. I got an apartment in the Mist ward after giving up hope of ever getting an actual house there. The great thing is when I teleport to the apartments or leave the building, I can see the beach. That's all I really wanted honestly.

The hardest part is trying to decide how to decorate it.

I think the issue with that is Limsa always looks the same. Unless you went with a generic housing ward that doesn't look like the one you're actually in, it's impossible.

[Ametrine]

If the balcony had special scenery verses overlooking the rest of the ward, a balcony add-on would be possible.

The only issue I see with that, though, is that the Goblet may get the shaft as the area is surrounded by a fog covered canyon. At least compared to the beach and ocean or the forest. Perhaps if it overlooked Ul'dah? There is a path in the city that is supposed to lead directly to housing.

It's not impossible, but a bit of work. I don't think anyone would mind a generic ward view if they got the balcony and if you pretend everyone's room is at the back you can just give it a scenic view as Ametrine suggested.

The back of Sultana's Breath is still within the ward.
