We had a wonderful stay in Malika's apartment. Location is superb. You're in the heart of Marché d'Aligre, one of the best daily markets in Paris (and open all week, except Monday, unlike most markets which are open usually 1-2 days a week.) It was such fun coming out of the apartment everyday right into the bustling market. You're a few minutes walk from Place de la Bastille, and very close to Metro (Ledru Rollin, line 8, or Bastille, multiple lines.) The apartment itself is small (in American standards) but very comfortable and lovely. We were two people (a couple) and it was very comfortable for us. (apartment is ideal for 1 person or a couple; less good for two room mates because there is only one bed.) Excellent value for money. Really, a great stay right at the heart of Paris for a great price. Oh, also, the apartment has a lovely porch where we had breakfast everyday. Yet another plus.
