I really enjoyed staying at Charlotte's apartment. My husband and I stayed there with his parents. We were greeted by Marc, Charlotte's friend, who was so nice and very informative. What I liked best about the apartment is that there was a grocery store and a bakery just a few doors down. The apartment is between two subway stops about ten minutes from each. There was also a bus stop directly in front of the apt. The kitchen facilities were great and we also used the washing machine. Although the apt is not in the heart of the tourist areas, it is not far, so you get a chance to experience "real" Paris. We absolutely would recommend this place!
