The apartment itself was very nice, clean, and had everything I needed for my stay in Paris. The location is a bit far from central Paris, but is close (walking distance) to two train stations which made it pretty easy to get into town. The neighborhood seemed a little sketchy, but I had no issues personally. The other residents in the building were very friendly. It definitely seems like an up and coming area. Certainly a good value for anyone visiting who does not want to pay the steep prices for hotels in central Paris!
