We enjoyed our one night stay here, we had stayed elsewhere in Paris the night before and wanted a change of pace. While the stairs are wicked, the view of the tower from the little window made up for it. The proximity to the tower with the sparkling lights at night was pretty cool. Only 2 small windows in the apartments so do not expect to sit and drink coffee and look out at the tower, but none the less. The view while standing and looking out is amazing.
