We enjoyed staying in Laura’s spacious apartment. It’s full of toys, books and magazines. The location is good, a supermarket Monoprix is just across the road. The neighborhood is quiet and friendly. It’s actually full of historical landmarks, but not overcrowded with tourists. There are many cafes and small shops to enjoy and explore. Museum of Pompidou is within a walking distance. For the rest you just take the Metro - don’t forget to buy the Navigo pass to use all the transportation and save money.
