our family enjoyed our stay at Foucauld's place. we knew going in that it was a 6th floor walk-up, though at times carting luggage or kids we wished for an elevator or a lower floor. as in much of Paris, the immediate neighborhood had plenty to offer, especially descending towards Oberkampf but also going up to Belleville. it was well-situated for transit, with the 96 bus immediately outside the apartment, and then 2 stations a very short walk away. Foucauld was very communicative throughout our stay and made our stay very easy.
