I have traveled in 11A/B and and 11 J/K. You can get out without walking over the other person, however like most seats on the UD when your neighbour is fully reclined you have to step over them. When fully reclined and at 6'2" my feet hit the wall.

The lavatory isn't that disturbing, noise at the back from the galley in last row would be more disturbing. Particularly on long flights such as from LHR and LAX you'll find the entire cabin asleep on the long sectors, so most use is after take off, and before landing. The light has never really made me reconsider sitting here. You are also ahead of the engines so it's quiet.

I've also traveled in the emergency exit rows but found the seats were prone to shake a lot more.
