The place is exactly as portrayed by the pictures; the location is fantastic and is very close to multiple metro lines right in the middle of a cool part of Paris. Her apartment is beautifully decorated and fully outfitted with what you'd need to stay in (pots pans etc) and there a good number of shops nearby. We were there in January and the heaters worked really well. There is little to no street noise even though it's in the heart of a bustling area and the apartment building itself is clean and secure. Aurelie is a great host and I would definitely recommend staying at her fantastic apartment!
