This is a very unique place in a unique neighbourhood. Heading up the steep stairs was a bit of a thrill as I did not know what to expect. The building is very old and I kept thinking I was in the wrong place. But once you get to the apartment all is well. It is very well outfitted and then there are even a few more stairs—up to the bed. All in all it was great fun, but just be prepared for a lot of climbing. We only had small backpacks so the stairs were not a problem. I can't imagine carrying suitcases up these stairs. The location is great. You can walk to so many places nearby.
