We stayed at Muriel's place for five nights at the end of June. We highly recommend for a stay in Paris. We arrived at the tail end of a heat wave and the apartment was fairly comfortable inspite of the heat. Muriel provided a fan and with all the windows, we were able to get the air moving. The apartment is in a great location and it is really a great space for two. The pictures really do not do it justice. It is filled with light and as mentioned above, lots of air circulation. But it faces a courtyard, so it is quiet as well. The elevator was a godsend with our heavy suitcases. It has all the necessary amenities for a comfortable stay. The neighborhood, as others have said, have so many fun places to explore. We used metro for most of our touring, and there are several convenient stops close by. We were even able to walk to Gare du Nord for the train to Orly. We enjoyed the walk to Sacre Coeur and Monmartre. You will enjoy your stay at Muriel's place!
