We stayed for a month so had plenty of time to explore the city and we found this is a perfect base. Close to the metro, trains and buses but ideally located if you also want peace and quite. We walked into central Paris several times but there is also enough locally by way of bistros and markets, if you want to stay close by. The apartment is on the top floor, with good views , in a private street. It is comfortable and feels homely, plus very light so when the sun shines it is glorious.
Alexandra is a very attentive host and she speaks excellent English.
