Agreed. Walk-ups are part of nyc life. And no one may like walking up 6 flights but if you are going to avoid the masseur because of that you have other issues. I have a regular masseur who is 5 flights up. 3–please. However, I echo the sentiment of an earlier post regarding packages, etc. if you get a number of packages delivered and you aren’t always there, the hassle of them going missing may not be worth the savings. And, the added security depending on exactly where the apartment is.
