The location of the apartment is great! Lots of shops and cafes downstairs. Close to a central market. It’s actually more like 7 flight walk up (there’s a principal floor and mezzanine floor that aren’t counted in the 5 floors). There’s an elevator, but it can only hold about 2-3 people max. We took the stairs and it felt never ending so be aware. Make sure to ask her to check the pilot light for the hot water, thankfully we were able to figure out quickly. Lijie, the host, was wonderful and the apartment was very clean.
