I live in an apartment, also known as a flat. It is a self-contained housing unit that is part of a bigger building.
nice, i also live in an apartment i think its way more comfortable than a house if you live alone
For sure. My unit is rented by my landlord. As a tenant I do not have to pay for routine repairs.
that is so nice my apartment is a 2 floor flat which has an electric elevator in the building
That saves walking up steps. Elevators, or lifts, provide vertical transportation between floors.
yep it is really helpful specially if your apartment is on the top floor
Otis Elevator invented the "safety elevator" in 1852, which uses a mechanism to lock the elevator if the ropes fail.
that is so interesting have you lived in a place with elevators beafore?
No, I never have. I like to ride escalators, which provide a moving staircase between floors.
oh, ok. stairs are not for me, the reason why i need an elevator is beacuse my bad knees
