Heide’s place is extremely charming! We had a great time and the proximity to the metro (2 different lines) was invaluable! The place can get a bit warm during the day but opening the windows cools it down significantly. A lot of the people in the area we spoke to spoke little to no English. French people speaking French shouldn’t be a shocker though and they seemed very kind and patient as we tried to communicate with them. I’d recommend Heide’s place, especially if you’re planning on using the metro during your stay.
