I loved staying at Martine's! It is in a perfect location near Montmartre and Châtelet/Opera. The 2 and 12 metro, and the bus lines will get you wherever you need to go! The room is as described. Definitely a lot of stairs! I am an average sized person who is very active, so it worked perfectly. One note is that there is only a skylight that has a curtain. I was quite happy and hope to stay at Martine's again!
