Again, with no elevator.
I can’t imagine no elevator and walking up with groceries.
It was a struggle to move but other than that it didn’t really effect me. I walk about a mile for groceries so the added stairs weren’t a huge problem.
Another issue was the layout of the building. It wasn’t just a tall column with an elevator. It had multiple staircases so it was a struggle for visitors and delivery people to find apartments.
Oof, yeah I’ve seen buildings like that. In NYC in the Lower East Side inside some of the older buildings you walk up one flight of stairs then walk the hallway across the length of the building to the other flight of stairs. That sort of setup feels so much worse vs just toughing it out up a column of stairs.
