A very nice space for 2 people or couple and teenager. My daughter and I walked there from Gare du Nord with our suitcases in about 15 minutes, and found it to be practical, not scenic - but the outdoor terrace was very nice for working on a laptop. The Chateau Rouge metro is under 10 minutes walk, and within a couple of blocks are organic fruit store, pharmacy, bakery + patisserie. Up toward the metro you'll find a store selling healthy salads for 5e, and a decent Mexican restaurant. This is a neighborhood of people from around the world, with outdoor markets nearby and a lot of street life. Seemed perfectly safe to us. Even after midnight, we had no problems whatsoever - might have seen a drunk or two, but c'est la vie a Paris. We liked the proximity to Gare du Nord and Sacre Coeur. We grabbed breakfast on the go every day from one of the nearby bakeries, and sandwiches to power through lunch. Didn't see many evening restaurants, but there are hot chicken to go places. We weren't certain how to handle the keys at checkout, but everything was comfortable and together in the apartment. No AC, but early June in Paris, so that wasn't a problem.
