We stayed with my family with 2 children and elderly mother. The apartment was lovely and easy to get to. Just take exit 2 from Chateau de Eau and its in front of the door. The stairs with the suitcases were a little difficult but my husband took them one at a time no problem and only one floor. Considering the location and how close to Gare de l'est to walk the suitcases back for our next intercity train, it was absolutely perfect. The apartment is just lovely, will definitely come again. Thankyou to the hosts!
