1. It’s near the park.

2. It’s a little further ahead. There is a bank over there, right? It’s beyond that bank.

3. It’s two more floors up. It’s tiring because there is no elevator.

4. It’s on the third floor of the new condo near the university entrance.

5. It’s next to my company, so it’s really convenient.
