Gael was super friendly and helpful and gave us lots of different directions to her apartment. The apartment is even more lovely than the pictures show, it truly is a home. We often spoke of how it felt like we were staying with an old friend. The neighbourhood was not filled with tourists but rather just everyday regular life and was very close to the 4 line on the metro, making it easy to get around. Make sure you can carry your bags as the apartment is on the top floor of a walk up, which makes the view from both balconies even more perfect. We would highly recommend Gael as a host and her apartment to stay in while you are in Paris.
