Marie-Helene provides just what is listed -- a clean, well placed, quirky space in the heart of Paris. You can easily walk to the Seine, Notre Dame, and Poet Neuf very quickly, and there is a delicious boulangerie around the corner! The stairs are definitely quite steep and narrow, sure footedness is definitely recommended. Also the beds are arranged so that one single is set off from the rest -- for me, that meant my kids who are still young and somewhat easily spooked wouldn't sleep there alone, so my husband had his own little nook! Something to consider in the sleeping arrangements. We had a great family stay.
