Silvia's place is in a great location central to all the main sites as well as near to St Germain cafes and restaurants, and the train station is three minutes away which is fantastic if you're heading to Gare du Nord from the Eurostar. As with most Parisian apartments, there's some stair work but I managed with my heavy suitcase and bags and I really appreciated that Silvia waited up for me (11pm) to make sure I got in okay and to give me a map with excellent advice and tips - perfect for a quick and packed two day trip ! I ended up walking to mist destinations around the city which kept me fit and saved me money, but apparently you can hire bikes for 24 hours for 1 Euro a day which is another great option. I'm 5'6 so the low ceiling was fine for me but if you're taller you might have to be careful not to bump your head, otherwise I highly recommend staying here, great informative and welcoming hosts and perfect location with an authentic Parisian feel :)
