walk-up
No elevator apartment
A walk-up is a building, typically an apartment building, without an elevator—residents must walk up the stairs.
The term also refers to an apartment in such a building: a fifth-floor walk-up in Brooklyn.
As an adjective, walk-up describes services accessible without prior arrangement: a walk-up window, walk-up customers.
In this sense, you simply walk up and are served.
