The worst apartment I lived in, I had to haul groceries not only upstairs
but also about 50-60 feet from where I could park. Never again! My kitchen
might be small but it has a good sized pantry and also I get to park right
next to it and I don't have to carry grocery bags up steps. It's nice. It
has a good sized patio, too.
