The apartment was on the top floor with no elevator. I’m 65 and in good shape but still needed help getting my suitcase up all those flights of stairs. Not recommended. Also the LG tv didn’t get wifi. I eventually found CNN. No usb plugs. No counters to hold and plug in appliances. No view. Good location. Priced too high.
