I sat in row 4 and I felt sorry for those passengers sitting in row 1 and 2, the noise and light from the galley is a huge issue. During the entire flight they never closed the curtains to the galley and the bright lights would have been a major issue for me. In row 4 I could hear the noise in the morning when they started to prepare breakfast service. The further back the better. Row 8 is not high on my list, they store the carts right next to that seat, but I much better than row 1.
