The elevator only worked the day the Host let us into the apartment. On all subsequent days, the elevator was non-functional and required walking up 7 flights of poorly-lit stairs to access the apartment. The Host made no apparent effort to remedy the elevator situation during our stay, but did provide a partial refund after-the-fact. The apartment itself is very nice, and the location is excellent, but unless you enjoy walking up/down 7 flights of stairs, we do not recommend you stay here.
