Hi Julie,

I agree with Rachel Brooklyn. I had the same dilemma because I live in an apartment with a view of my neighbors windows too. We are also east facing so at 8:00am the whole apartment was like staring into a disco ball.
Problems: we rent so I needed something that I knew wouldn't damage the windows or leave thick residue.
2Jane was my solution. Emma Jeff's is a British designer and the use PVC free film which means they are Eco-friendly. I have the Anni in my bedroom (it looks like Burberry plaid) and Orba in my living room. I have gotten SO many compliments on both. My husband likes the Pixel that's in our kitchen.
They were easy to install. I only installed them on the bottom half of my windows so I could still see out the top, but I live on the top floor, so that may not be an option for you.

Regarding open windows, my friend bought a piece of plexi that fits over the window just shy of last two open inches & covered it in the window film. Then i slid it into the two curtain tie-back hooks that were in the wall (I just installed them up instead of facing out)

I hope this helps.
Good luck!
