The location is outstanding close to shops, cafes and transportation. I knew about the five flights up but since you typically only do it once or twice a day it was no big deal. Just note this apartment is really small. It is smaller than my college dorm room with the foldout bed taking up a huge percentage of the space. The small outdoor area was a big plus and why I rented the apartment. Yetty was very fast to respond to any questions and offer assistance.
