If you are looking for an central location from which to base your Parisian adventures, this might be it. We stayed at Christine's for a few days and it was quite ideally located for accessing the river, the metro, grocery store, the islands, and more. The apartment is located in a bustling neighborhood, but the courtyard provides a buffer to the sounds and activity and offers additional privacy and security. Christine was a great communicator and offered many recommendations for our stay.
