The host was delightful and went out of his way to make us feel welcome and comfortable: he left fresh fruit and beverages for us in the apartment. The 1 room apartment is lovely, everything was clean and worked, though the stairway to the apartment still needs a little work, but I think that might be par for the course in a Parisian apartment building. Everything in the apartment is small, but we managed to fit two adults and two children in there for two nights and were comfortable. The neighborhood is the Jewish Quarter of Paris: very lively and there were people out in the street making lots of noise until well into the night, which was fun. There are plenty of choices for breakfast, lunch and dinner within a short walk. It is also a short walk to the river and Notre Dame. If you want a quiet stay in Paris, this is probably not the place for you. But if you like lively and interesting then this is perfect.
