Great potential; accurately described in previous reviews. The stairs were not a problem. We had 4 issues: 1) no typical airbnb house manual with instructions to make you feel at home and use the the various systems, just owner's manuals. For example, we had to spend considerable time on getting the wifi up and running, with eventual help from Philippe. 2) it wasn't easy to get comfortable. The bathroom radiator didn't work, the other radiators ran on their own schedule and temperature; we couldn't get the cross-breeze dialed in without getting street/building noise. 3) we expected a little construction in the hallway (per other reviews), but we had considerable dust, constant noise, even a worker inside. This was a week where the unit shouldn't have been on the market. 4) The host just... disappeared. When we complained about the above + a party upstairs, we heard nothing until checkout 50 hours later, or anytime afterwards. Otherwise, it could be a good rental.
