Bryan's family apartment is just lovely and my family (one kid, two parents) felt completely at home. I also love this part of Paris (Barbès/Château Rouge) because it's so vibrant (super busy at times) and well-connected. As with so many Paris apartments, the building might not look like much from the outside but inside things are lovely. In this case, the apartment is especially tasteful and comfortable. There are also good-quality windows and so the street noises are minimal.
