The apartment is located in a very quiet area. It felt safe to walk around at night. it is a 15 min walk from the metro which was better for me than the bus. I used the apartment mainly for sleeping and showering, both were adequate. Location is great if you want to use Uber as well. some nights I used Uber to get from the centre of Paris and also took Uber when I left for Orly airport and the prices were good. It is not as comfortable as a 3-star hotel in the centre of Paris but costs less than a 1/4 in season (May 2019). It is a great value for money. make sure to communicate with the owner 24 hours in advance. it took him 4 hours to reply with important info about check-in and messed up my 1st day.
