how i found out my apartment is a 7th (not a 5th) floor walk-up after signing my lease

So, after signing my lease and carrying four suitcases up my stairs to move in, I decided to actually count the flights of stairs up to my apartment. My unit number is 501. I assumed I was on the fifth floor. But after counting, I realized the numbering is wrong. The floors go 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 but there are 2 more floors stuck in there with no numbers. I'm actually on the 7th floor! This picture is of the open bike parking lot in my building. This is the actual "second floor."

It's not as bad as it sounds though because some of the floors have lower ceilings than the others. Nate nearly has to duck in the hallways of floor 2 and 3. I used to live on a 6th floor walk up in Manhattan and that had way more steps. Sounds like a classy place you want to come visit, huh?

Ha I wouldn't use the term luxurious, but I'm really enjoying my new place so far!

I am impressed with bikeport. Riding the bike and climbing stairs you have your own atheletic facility. I will be to visit when I can get my breathing to a normal vital capacity. I would love to see you. How is inside the apt? Send pictures. Bathroom picture also. This is wonderful to be able to communicate like this. What is your address? JOMOM
