The stairs up to the apartment are very steep and not easy to navigate especially for older people. The stairs are in the description but I was surprised at how steep they actually are.. Something to consider. Also the heat did not work the first few days and Maryam finally got a repair person to come up fix i the unit. In the meantime, the portable floor heater was a godsend. There were some other problems with the apartment but all in all the location is great and the view is fantastic. Both worth all the other inconveniences.
