Wouldn't recommend the area to first-time visitors to Paris. Being next to the metro was awesome but the area felt a little sketchy, especially night. The nearby street is apparently a popular place for prostitutes as we saw about 10 during our time there. We ran out of some essentials and had difficulty reaching the host for some other help. The place itself was small but clean and newly renovated. The windows to outside don't latch properly and the noise from the the laundry as well as the water pipes caused loud banging... Which was strange. The wifi was good though and there are a lot or great restaurants nearby.
