looks like a good setup. Really, the main thing with being inside is bands 
like 10 meters, 12, can be a little tough inside since they're the most 
likely to cause RFI though I do know people who get away with it. When the 
bands are good any band will work from inside the trick is coming up with an 
antenna that works and isn't giving up more than you have to. I've done it 
on vacation really, even on 10 meters, though in that place the cable system 
for the tv was junk so I went through it on all bands so I was on 2 through 
75, I didn't care so long as no one was watching TV. That area has th have 
the worst maintained cable TV cabling in the world though I went and checked 
it out for myself and found so many problems it was discussing. Then I 
stayed somewhere else in the same town, no RFI from me, but to me, so again 
I checked things out and found it even worse, but really, if everything's 
done right, you shouldn't have any trouble. You may have, or want to keep 
the power down a little on some bands, but some sort of dipole setup is 
probably the best bet, I have found in my portable setups they're not as 
fussy to lack of RF ground, which you'll have to deal with on the second 
floor, if it has to be inside you can pretty much run it how ever you need 
to, and if you can show that's all the HF antenna is, maybe the option of 
putting it outside might come up to you. I know someone who was doing that, 
he had a wire antenna in his apartment and when the person in charge found 
out "that's all it was" he let him put it outside since it wasn't going to 
be real visible.
