Close to the metro and Pere Lachaise
Away from the more traditional touristy areas, you'll find that Menilmontant is a nice neighbourhood that provides everything you'll need during your stay. The metro with direct access to the centre of Paris is just a minute's walk away and you'll find that Pere Lachaise is a site that should be on par with the Louvre and Eiffel Tower as a "must see" in Paris.
