This apartment is spacious (as Parisian apartments go) and located in a neighborhood away from the tourist areas (its main attraction for me), yet close enough to central Paris to get where you want to go quickly. There are many restaurants, cafes, pubs, and supermarkets in the neighborhood - many services in general. It is just steps from the metro, which was great, and a 15 minute walk to an RER station at Nation. While the apartment had a few maintenance issues, we have notified Hela about them, and I am sure that she will take care of them. Please note: The apartment does not have air conditioning, and we were not provided a fan(s). Hopefully Hela will invest in some fans for future guests. Also, it is a 3rd floor walk-up, so bear this in mind if you have mobility issues or will be traveling with a big (or heavy) suitcase. We felt that the apartment was quite a good value, given that 6 persons (or a family) could sleep there (with one couple on the sofa bed in the living room).
