Accurate description. Plane got in early, and the cleaning lady met us to let us drop off our bags. Stairs were steep, but not unusually so for an old European city. Location felt safe. Right around the corner from at least two grocery stops and plenty of places to eat. Apartment was clean although the shower had a weird moldy smell...it went away when you turned the water on. Bathroom is quite big. You can walk to a subway station less than five minutes. You can walk to *see* the Eiffel Tower in about five minutes, although to actually get to it is about fifteen (not a big deal for us). Proximity to Metro line was most helpful.
