Simon's casa is an absolute gem centrally located in Paris. It was easy to commute to my office with the nearby metro stations and was just a short walk to most of the attractions. The 5th floor walkup was only an issue when transporting my luggage but luckily it quickly became routine. It was totally worth the hike to enjoy the balcony and the view outside. When I am in Paris again I cant imagine wanting to stay anywhere else. Super spacious for 2 people, becomes very cramped very quickly if sharing with a larger group.
