Tom (Zac's brother)'s place is a very clean and cozy student apartment with a comfortable futon. It is nicely located in the middle of a busy area although quiet inside the apartment. Has one flight of narrow and steep stairs, as do many places is Paris ;). Is approximately 20-30min from the main Paris attractions by bike and public transportation (very nearby). We loved renting bikes although the Velib bikes next to the apartment were sometimes difficult to find in working condition.
