The apartment itself was very nice and in a good location, a neighborhood near Jardin des Plantes. However, our entire stay was affected by lack of utilities (the internet was down) and the host, while somewhat responsive over mobile / text, never showed up to address the problem. As we were in Paris partially for work, lack of internet for the week was a real problem that caused all sorts of inconveniences. The greater issue, though, was that the host never showed up to address the problem, or sent someone to address the problem. In fact, we were quite surprised that we never met the host at all, even on the first day (check-in). Instead, the housekeeper was there but did not understand who we were at first and did not speak french or english. In the end, this great place was quite spoiled by lack of availability of the host, either initially or to address later problems that arose, and by lack of access to a basic utility that was clearly advertised on the listing.
