This is a great location to be within walking distance to most major sites within Paris. The apartment is well equipped with the kitchen and living area. Also, although it's on the 2nd floor, there is a small elevator to bring in bags. The only drawback was the noise from the neighbors some nights. Also, the bathroom with the toilet (the shower & skink are separate from the toilet) smelled of cigarette smoke coming from the neighbors apartment. We found that we were barely in the apartment because there is so much to do in Paris, and for this reason, it worked fine.
