I'm a renter so it was important to me that the film left no residue and was easy to remove. In both cases I was very satisfied with this product. I didn't apply it directly the first time and it was easy to remove and reposition. If you have a fancy shaped window, it can be difficult to make sure you cut the right size. So try tracing the shape of the window with pencil and paper, then make a template to cut out the foil. As for the view, nothing can be seen through the window. You can see the light so you can tell if it's day or night, but otherwise no dice. I am attaching a photo of my window after sticking the film on a glass.
