It implies a sense of freedom and lack of claustrophobia, often highlighting that a room is not blocked by other buildings. It is a positive attribute that suggests high quality and good ventilation.
Examples

Common mistake
Learners sometimes confuse it with general words for big like 大, but it specifically emphasizes the visual aspect of having a clear, unobstructed line of sight rather than just square footage.
