The apartment was excellent. Would recommend for anyone planning a trip to Paris. We were able to walk to Louvre etc but there was also a bus service incl. hop on hop off bus at end of the street. Bonne novelle metro stop was also at end of street and we were able to walk to gare de nord station at end of stay. The apartment is clean and safe with a security code entrance into a courtyard. It is also quiet with no noise at night.
