The flat is really nice and very well situated, in the heart of Paris. The description is accurate. It's really amazing it's able to host up to 8 people. The 5 stories without elevator can be intimidating, but is not as bad as it sounds, because the distance between each story is shorter than usual. Just know that the stairways are not standard commercial building stairs, they are narrow and at times sloping which can be difficult for individuals with difficulty walking.

The only thing to be mindful of is that the ceiling is pretty low upstairs, so if you are travelling with people who aren't too comfortable crouching to go to bed, there is a place for 2 in the living room. Apart from bumping my head on the way down, I didn't mind the low ceiling since it was only for sleeping.

If I'm travelling with the right people, I would definitely choose this flat again.
