This apartment is situated in a great neighborhood. It is in a building with locals families. There are restaurants and shops nearby. The wifi is strong. The building has a concierge and is in a safe neighborhood. It is off the main thoroughfare of Paris so there is a bit of a walk to the metro. It is not too far, unless you have been out walking all over Paris and are tired at the end of your outing. The metro is very efficient for traveling around Paris. However, a taxi is a must if you have a lot of luggage on arrival and departure. (It cost us 75 euros from CDG and 35 euros to Orly.) The apartment is very spacious. The layout of the rooms were not a problem for us (one bedroom behind the other.) A few cons were the furnishings are very worn and many of the seats are not useable due to the springs. The carpet is also worn. The host likes to call you on your cell phone many times. To minimize this, make sure you have your travel plans in place before reserving the apartment, and pre-arrange a time to meet the apartment building concierge when you arrive initially. The apartment also was not ready when we arrived and we had to wait for the cleaning lady to leave despite my early notification of our arrival.
