Maryam’s apartment is in a lively residential neighborhood. The bus/metro stops are 3-minute walk away and only takes 15-20 minutes to the tourist areas (Notre Dame, Louvre, Opera). Many supermarkets and restaurants are within 5-minute walk distance. Everything works fine in the apartment, and the night time is very quiet. Coming back late at night is safe. This is a good home-base for visiting Paris. I recommend it.
