We chose this place because of it's good reviews, which were warranted! There is a lively bar scene right around the corner on the weekends, but we felt safe and the small (gated) alleyway the flat is on is generally quiet (some early morning noise, but this is true no matter where you are in Paris!). Although I got nervous because I hadn't heard a response from Axel (I like to plan and have things squared away quite far in advance), once we were within a day or two of travel (and when we had questions while there), Axel was very responsive. His colleague (Bobou) was very helpful, too. A typical, well-located, clean flat. I would recommend it.
