Great location, clearly the home of an artist or musician as I enjoyed just looking around at the stuff hung up and the records/books. Definitely tough to bring a suitcase up the steps, but we were warned in the listing. However, even walking up and down them is a little tricky, they're steep and the lights can turn off mid-walking. Phone light it is! We were there during the heat wave so it was UNSEASONABLY warm, and as it was on the third floor it was kind of hard to sleep there. But, AC is not typical in France so it was just bad luck. Good neighborhood, near a lot of tabacs, bars, restaurants and the like but still very quiet. Shabby on the inside, but not too bad. Enjoyable experience.
