Generally speaking, it is in a good location with proximity to shops, cafes and attractions; however, it is situated on a side street that is a tad unpleasant, albeit not a lot the host can do (rubbish, ‘interesting’ characters and reeks of urine to the extent you cannot open the windows to air out the apartment). Said windows are frosted to shoulder height, so passers-by can see straight in (if privacy is important to you). It had been nicely renovated, though the 30+ degree days were difficult to manage with no AC. Overall, well suited to those looking to use as a base for spending the majority of your time out and about whilst staying in Paris.
