The place was exactly as I expected, from both the description and the other reviews. Right off of the Pigalle metro stop, with groceries, restaurants, boulangeries, and spots like the Sacre Coeur very near by. And as promised, amazing view from the balcony! Also as promised, many many stairs, but, Paris. It's good for ya. :) The place was very clean and just the right size, exactly what I was looking for.
