This house was much better than expected. In the photos it looks more "sad" than it actually is. It is much more charming than in the photos and the experience living in it is as true as it gets: It's a true/in use parisian appartment! I'm not even commenting on the stairs thing, since all the buildings in Paris are old without elevator. Alexandre is extremely nice and he deserves the best of reviews. It was a true parisian experience, very far from the touristic attitude. Would definitely stay there.
