Lionel's apartment is in a great location within walking distance of several subway stops and some of the great sights of Paris. The apartment is small by American standards, but it is comfortable for two people. It's in a busy location with lots of cafes and restaurants nearby, but the apartment faces an internal courtyard and so it is quiet. Lionel's guide to Paris is a great resource with recommendations for places to eat and sights to see within the neighborhood. The apartment was very clean and tidy, the kitchen was fully stocked with dishware and there was even a basket of toiletries in the bathroom, which I found to be a great help when I first arrived.
