Coming from NYC this was a dream. Yes there at 6 flights of stairs, but they're not steep and it was manageable. The apartment is bigger than I expected and thoroughly charming. The area was fine, but a brisk walk or short metro ride and you could find really cool places to hangout. The apartment is very cold. There are small heaters which are helpful but bring cozy pajamas If you stay in winter. The view is lovely and I truly appreciated the hosts patience
