My experience was overall great. The location can't be beat, on Île de la Cité, just two short blocks from Notre Dame. The stairs were fine, only 2-1/3 stories up. I used and appreciated many of the apartment's amenities, including the washing machine, the steam iron, and kitchen dishes, corkscrew, etc. One negative is the age and bumpy quality of the sofa bed. Because I was by myself, I was able to twist around and find a comfortable angle for myself. Pietro, do us all a favor and invest in a futon sofa that slides into a platform futon bed. Such current designs are far more comfortable than the old sofa bed designs. It's time for an upgrade!
