I like the one on the right at the top.  The view from the window is stunning and it is lost when exposing for the interior (which is a bit messy and distracting, it's not needed in this photo).  I think the almost silhouette of the woman works well. I'd crop it a little tighter around the window, to get rid of some of that dark block at the bottom, cut out the bit of the next window you can see along the left and make the window with the view and the silhouetted woman the key features.

I like the second one but it does not look very sharp or crisp.  The colours could be a bit bolder, maybe more saturated but that could increase the noise/grainyness of the shot.  Do you have photoshop or other software? I sometimes find that using levels in photoshop, cuts out that slightly hazy look in photos like that, a lot of my landscape shots look like this. Other people may have better advice on how to improve the colours.

I find the bottom one really interesting but perhaps you are right, it is not for a guidebook, unless the book wants to highlight some examples of poverty.
