I stayed at Aida's place for 5 days. Her apartment is incredibly spacious and gets beautiful natural light. It has a full dining table which was perfect for doing work and a comfortable and large sofa. The decor is thoughtful and elegant - Aida has great taste! Aida is also warm, kind, proactive, and flexible. She was kind enough to let me leave my luggage at the apartment before the official check-in time. The apartment is also very clean and well-maintained with a full kitchen & dishwasher.
A couple of cons: The shower is on the smaller side and appears to have some mold as does the shower curtain. The bathroom is super tiny (like a closet) and much smaller than I expected, but the hot water and pressure is good. The location near the canals is okay but if you're looking to do touristy things in Paris it's a bit of a trek to most attractions. It's a quiet area near schools and a hospital. The metros are about a 10 min walk away which feels long in the winter when it's cold.
