Ineke's apartment is in a neighborhood I've stayed in often before, at least in part because of its mixture of cultures and the wide variety of foods available (both resto and food stores) as well as the three-times-a-week market right at the door. It's on the ground floor, which is convenient (although the second bedroom has stairs that might not work for someone with mobility issues).
Ineke's house manual was very clear and well-illustrated, and is full of cards for nearby restaurants and services. And while the apartment doesn't have a washer, there's a well-functioning laundromat just around the corner. Transit to anywhere is great; the Simplon station on Metro 4 is just down the block and its only a short walk to Jules Joffrin on Metro 12, and there are many bus lines within a couple of blocks.
