I stayed here by myself for 10 days while I was finishing a book, and I loved it. The neighbourhood is great: good transportation links (M. 2, 11, and 3 all close); great cafés and bars; tons of groceries and take-away shops. I spent a lot of time in the flat and was really comfortable. It's private and pretty quiet. There's a cooker/stove, so you can eat in easily. The boiler can be a little temperamental when filling the bath - just turn it off and on again. I will say that if you are coming to Paris for the first time and to you Paris means the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe, etc., this is not that Paris. You can get to all the touristy places easily from here, but this is real Paris, maybe a little bit grittier and livelier than you were expecting. Anyway, highly recommended.
