How does a flight attendant reach to the captain on an Airbus?

Do they climb the spiral Boeing stairs? Or stand on an elevator? If so, which room gets them there? The middle of a seating area? The place where flight attendant delivers your welcome or the middle where flight attendants go to lunch? And when they're upstairs on the second floor, where are they more likely to stand in? The same room?

    All Airbus airplane have the flight deck at the same level as the passenger cabin, with the exception of the double decker A380, where it is located midway between the passenger decks, and which can be reached through a short stair.

    There is no such thing as a "Boeing stair".

    No Airbus has ever been manufactured using “Boeing stairs”.

    All airbus passenger models have the flight deck located on the same level as the main passenger deck.

    With the advent of secure cockpits, crew communication with the flight deck is via the  intercom with a CCTV camera to show the pilots who is behind the door before they unlock it from the inside. There is also an external keypad entry which pilots can and often do disable from the flight deck whilst airborne.

    The flight deck of the Airbus A380 is on the main passenger level.  The flight attendants don't need to climb to upper level.  They just knock on the door or use the internal phone to call the pilots.
