The apartment was lovely, and yes there were many steps to get to it. This was no surprise! Everything was clean and there was very little street noise. The internet worked well. I would advise getting good directions before arriving - cars are unable to get close to the apartment and it can be confusing trying to navigate the small streets. You'll want to bring your own soap for the shower as none was provided. Finally, be careful when checking out, as we were asked to leave keys in the apartment which we did. However, the front door to the street was locked with a key (which it never was before) so we got locked in the hallway. Luckily a nice neighbor helped us so we were only delayed by 30 minutes!
