On one hand this flat's not perfect, but on the other it's hard to find any reason to give fewer than five stars. If you decide to stay here, then you'll be faced with five flights of narrow uneven stairs that lead to an apartment that doesn't have a huge amount of space and accumulates heat as it's in the roof and above four more storeys. However if you're not too bothered by climbing a few stairs and sleeping with the windows open, then you'll be rewarded with the experience of staying in the top floor of a 19th century block located above the lively and central rue Montorgueil, with a great view from the window of the living area, modernised with all the essentials, and with convenient access to everything Paris has to offer. Emmanuel was a great host, taking time to settle us in then remaining in touch throughout our stay to make sure we had all we needed. Given the very reasonable price, I have no hesitation recommending this apartment.
