I understand 7A is the quieter of the two being so forward of the aircraft, and will also be among the first to receive meal service. While 2/3 of the flight will be flown in darkness I was hoping to catch views of the morning arrival into MEL, but the wing of course completely obstructs that. In practice is 23A affected by noise and light from the rear bar, toilets and galley? I like that it's a quick walk to the bar and toilets from 23A should I need to use the facilities, but don't want my rest disrupted.
