Chantal's place was very spacious and cozy when my wife and I stayed. Location wise it was located very near to the metro and bus stations. If you wanted to walk to the other parts of Paris, you would need to take a bit more time. The area around the apartment felt safe, but the only thing my wife and I were quite surprised about was that the main door takes you directly to the street. If you're ok with that then its a wonderful place to stay!
