I asked about this as well when we were choosing our place!
Ours is East/ Northeast and we are pleased. It gets full sun from 9:30 to 10:30 and has partial then full shade after that. We have a half- birdcage,(1/2 under roof) so when the rains come (from the east, as mentioned before) plant pots inside the birdcage get a nice shower, but I can usually sit out there and stay dry under roof, if I want to. I love it!
