I greatly enjoyed my stay in this tiny little apartment à la parisienne. The no-lift situation was not much of a problem because the staircase is narrow and Paris means a lot of walking anyway. The 17th is a great place for young people with Montmartre in walking distance and beautiful sunsets to be observed from here. Pont Cardinet with it's modern buildings surrounding a beautiful park was one of my favorite spots around the corner. The humidity caused by the bath'room' situation is not much of a problem when you are German or now how "lüften" works... Alexis is a very reliable and responsible host with good communication.
