I have a couple more questions:

1) How do you count the steps in a staircase? Do you include the floor of the level above and/or the floor of the level below, or only the steps in the middle? If there is a landing, does it count as a step? Does it depend on the size of the landing?
If the steps are outside the unit (in the public staircase between the units) does it have an influence on the unit's feng shui? What about steps on the hillside on the path approaching the building?

2) We live in an apartment building where the entrance to the stairwell between the units is on the south side but facing up the hill. However the door entering our unit is in the center of the east wall of our unit, facing the stairwell from the side. Does this make our main entrance an east-facing entrance? Inside the unit, the living, dining and kitchen areas are on the side facing down the slope (north) while the bedrooms and bathrooms are on the south side. On the north side near the east end, there is a door going out to the balcony. So what does this say in general about which direction our apartment is facing?

Thank you,
