Stephane's place was great for me and my family. Stephane met us upon arrival and showed us how everything worked. This is a wonderful space, which is very roomy, comfortable and clean. It basically has everything you would need for your stay. The neighborhood is very lively with some great restaurants nearby. The Metro is literally in front of the building. There are two groceries nearby just next door. One is a health food store and the other is a full grocery. There is an AMAZING bakery around the corner, called Ble Sucre. There is also a great Italian restaurant 2 minutes away, called East Mamma. I would definitely stay here again.
As other reviewers stated, the tight/steep staircase is a bit of a challenge if you have heavy bags. Stephane was nice enough to help us carry our bags up. Otherwise, I was the only family member strong and agile enough to carry the bags up the stairs. The other thing I'll note is that the hot water only lasts for about 30 minutes at a time. If you have a large family, I suggest having half the family shower at night or making sure everyone limits their time.
