Very good location for a family visit to the attractions in the center of Paris. One flight of winding stairs to reach the apartment, but my 85 year old mother was able to climb them using the sturdy railing. There are some steps within the apartment (one step down to the living room, 2 steps to go up into one bathroom with toilet and another large step up into each shower). The location is very close to Rue Montorgueil and Rue des Petits Carreaux which both have many great eateries and shops (we loved Boulangerie Blouet for our breakfast treats).
