Gilles was there to meet us and was extremely friendly and kind. He answered all our questions and gave us good advice about the neighbourhood. For a foreign family of 2 adults and 2 children this was a perfect Paris apartment, and a real French experience. And the neighbourhood is charming, filled with small shops and restaurants - try La Bontendrie - and with much more of a student feel than a tourist one. Access to the Metro is easy and we also enjoyed walking into the centre of town. Best of all, the apartment is quiet and sheltered from street noise.
