I spent 15 days at Victoria's place. It was and excellent location- lively but that is what you want. The side street the apartment is on has lots of great little shops and galleries. It is just a two minute walk to the Metro.
The apartment is on the first floor so it is conveniently situated if you have big suitcases like me. It was clean and ideal for a couple or single traveller like me, with high ceilings and a small kitchenette.
I did experience a Paris heatwave- it almost hit 40 C so one night was unbearable, even with a fan. But then 95% of Parisian apartments would not have air conditioning.
I found a great yoga place on the next street- literally 2 minutes away called Yoga Marais with an American bilingual instructor.
