I had my best stay at Emma's Airbnb! The apartment is absolutely gorgeous and the room was very spacious and comfortable. The bathroom was also very clean (water pressure was great). The highlight of my Airbnb stay was Chantal, Emma's roommate. She doesn't really speak English, and I speak elementary French but we were able to have some great conversation. The daily breakfast is quite simple, but the real joy in it (in my opinion) is getting to spend some time every morning with Chantal and getting to know her and Parisian life.

As for the location, the area is safe and in between 2 metro stations. It is also steps away from the Canal and a few minutes walk to two large, popular parks. There are also some great restaurants nearby and you're about a 15 minute metro ride away from the nearby Montmartre neighborhood which is great to explore as well!
