STEPHANE is a legend, incredibly enthusiastic & welcoming.
FIVE FLIGHTS of stairs! It's not bad if you organize & take everything you need when you leave. Otherwise, you'll be getting some pretty good aerobics.
LOCATION is perfectly centered especially for nightlife, adult entertainment
& a plethora of shops & cafes.
For a little more upscale walk 10 minutes or meander for 30 minutes south toward Metro Sentier & rue Montorgueil which is amazingly rich with all manner of shops & cafes.
BRING ear plugs if you retire early or are a light sleeper; the attendant street noise is everywhere in Paris.
Spacious, comfortable apartment, nicely renovated with lots of light & the bonus balcony looking out on magnificent architecture.
