We don't have the front or right option, has to be the left wall. My
question, at what height from the ground and how far from the toilet
bowl is best location for most people?

I recall that most institutions have them at elbow height, slightly to
the front. Most homes seem to place them at least lower. maybe even
somewhat closer. I was wondering why this discrepancy, and what works
best in everyone's opinion here?



You don't want the best height for most people. You want
someplace a 2-year old can reach.

If you then have an adult who's too crippled to reach that,
then mount a second holder. It's not like having a second
roll available is going to be a bad thing.
