Stairs/Entrance





Just above the stairs in the first picture at the top is the street in our barangay. I feel the need to show these pictures of the stairway in our place because some people may be expecting a flat or a road-level house but unfortunately, this is not so in our place. If you have some senior citizens coming with you, then please be advised that there are several stairs that they have to tackle before they could enter the unit in the ground floor. We have had some guests in the past who were in their 80's actually and for them, it was no problem going up and down the stairways in our place. We've also had some guests who were only in their 50's but they find it hard to climb up these stairs. For the youngsters, it's no problem because they enjoy themselves going up and down the stairs. Baguio City is mostly hilly anyway and the best way to tour the city is on foot so bring your sneakers or flip flops with you when you come for a visit. The picture in the center is the second set of stairs and a walkway that leads down to the ground floor level.


 

The picture above shows the entrance to the 2-bedroom ground floor unit with its own separate door for the guest's privacy. All the windows including the main door are screened with an insect wire mesh material. Just don't pull the screen door behind you when you enter the house so as not to damage it. The screen door will close by itself with its oil-based mechanism which is installed at the top so just leave it alone to do its own thing. In closing the main door, insert the key in the key slot and do a clockwise and counterclockwise twist and that will do the trick before you can remove the key.


An outdoor sink is available near the entrance to the unit which serves as a dirty kitchen for cleaning out your fish or doing your food preparation for outdoor cooking. A clay cook stove is also available but you buy your own charcoal if you want to use it. The stairs on the left side is for our private use only and it's off-limits to guests. We use this stairs mainly whenever we want to go in the small backyard garden.
