I really enjoyed my stay here. Baboushka was exceptionally welcoming and responsive and her place was cozy, charming and clean. The apartment is set back in the building and faces a garden instead of the main street, which makes it very private and quiet.
The neighbourhood is gritty, but it's interesting and very well-connected. There are a lot of good Maghrebian and African restaurants and bars with a friendly neighbourhood feel. The metro station is a two minute walk away and there are a ton of buses that service Porte de Clignancourt. It's also a couple minutes walk from the flea market and has every service you would need just minutes away.
I would definitely stay here again!
