We found the apartment perfect for our needs. There was outside building work going on and the entire front of the apartment was protected with plastic so that we couldn't see out and, more importantly, it stopped the passage of air through the apartment making it a bit stuffy. Pauline had warned us about this in advance and gave us a discount so absolutely no complaint but it prevented us enjoying the apartment at its best.
The location had good and bad points. It is a 10 minute walk from the metro, a 2 minute walk to the bus stop and has a supermarket opposite. The area seemed quiet during the day but could be very noisy in the evenings from people having a good time. The street is also a place where homeless people sleep, thought this gave us no problem.
I would recommend this apartment. Pauline is a great host and very easy to communicate with.
