The view is spectacular, but, as others noted, there are many, many stairs. It was well worth it for us. Karine was a wonderful hostess. The little surprises she left were much appreciated. We were very fortunate to have our bags brought up the stairs by Karine's husband and son. The nice thing about staying in someone's home is that it is well-equipped. Loved Karine's space, particularly the bed alcove on the roof. Be aware that it is pretty noisy; there are a couple bars close by. You do feel like a true Parisian, though, with the big living area windows open, drinking wine with bread and cheese. Highly recommend Karine's place.
