Axel's place was wonderful! It was the perfect size for my fiancé and me to spend a couple of nights in Paris. The location is fantastic, which is mainly what we chose the apartment for originally. It's on a quiet street, right off a main square - best of both worlds. It's easily walkable to the Marais and many other neighborhoods, plus there are several train lines at the Bastille metro stop, which is right at the end of the street. We never met Axel in person (his colleague met us to let us into the apartment), but he was extremely responsive to all of our questions and when coordinating our arrival. If you're looking for a centrally located place to stay in Paris that is also affordable, look no further than Axel's apartment. I would definitely stay here again the next time I'm in town!
