Me and a friend had an amazing time for a weekend, and the hostess took such a good care of us, so we really felt the Parisian atmosphere. The apartment is near a metro station, so traveling from and to the airport was easy. The area is Bastille is lovely, 5 min from the apartment there was a morning market with fresh food. Cafe, restaurants and bars are all near by if you like it local, or you can walk for 20 min and you'll be in the center of Paris near by the Notre Dame. To summarize, I would really recommend staying at this apartment.
