This apartment is very tasteful, comfortable and clean. The rate is good for Paris, but that is because the neighborhood is a bit rough. Not a problem for me, but probably not ideal for a first-time say in the city (I've lived and worked there so not a big deal for me). It's a 10 minute to walk to more charming areas for dining and shopping. Also note that there is no a/c or fan in the apartment which is tough for some of us who are used to that on 100 degree summer days. We ended up buying a fan from a local shop.
