As advertised, this apartment has beautiful views and lots of steps. We didn't mind climbing the stairs a couple times a day (helping us work off all the great wine and cheese we were enjoying), though getting the luggage up is a workout! The apartment has LOTS of space to spread out and enjoy each other's company in the living room. It is spacious by Parisian standards, and feels homey with lots of plants and decorative touches. It was surprisingly quiet given how bustling the neighborhood is. I hardly ever heard any noise from neighbors or the street. We especially appreciated the AC since it was quite warm at the start of our trip.
