Narrow stairs would be hard because they are so big, but a few regular stairs should be ok, at least while it is young. As it gets to be an old dog stairs could be hard, especially if it ends up with hip or elbow issues.
Obviously if you could avoid stairs it would be better, but if you can't, it shouldn't change your decision to get the dog. Maybe the building will have an elevator.
Sounds like you want a male? If so, just be sure to get it neutured. A male dog can smell a female in heat two miles away, you'd hate to have a dog that big dragging you two miles to go find the source of the "smell", also a dog that big could go right through a door or window to find that female. (just a word of caution).
I like the name bandit. I knew a Dane named Ogema once. It is an indian word for Chief.
