The location was perfect as I could walk everywhere I wanted to go â museums, monuments, both sides of the Seine â and the restaurants, boulangeries, patisseries, fruit stands, and grocery stores were all within 2 blocks. The previous reviews had mentioned the staircase, but potential renters need to know that not only is it 4 flights up, itâs very narrow & spiral with old wooden steps. I am an athlete, but I had to be extremely careful. Had I been staying longer, Iâm not sure I would have chosen this apartment. The AC, air purifier, washer/dryer, and NâEspresso machine were big pluses!Claude was very helpful.
