It was really important to us that access to the apartment did not require stairs and it was close to where we wanted to be. I have seen many airbnb places where people are lugging their heavy luggages over long flights of stairs. They had instructions on what to do so that the next people would be comfortable as well. The place was clean since they had a space to put the shoes before entering the main space which is a common practice in our own home. We would stay here again.
