The apartment was everything we expected it to be, just like in the pictures. Aurelia was a very gracious host, providing information as well as taking care of small details. Very cozy place to stay, and being 50 meters away from the Line 3 Metro station surely makes moving all around Paris very easy. Lots of good restaurants, boulangeries, bakeries, epicieries, fromageries in a 3-block radius. Walking distance from the Bastille and Popincourt marchés (open air markets), highly recommended places to buy cheese, fruit, fishes, cold cuts: you name it, they have it. Again, can't go wrong staying at Aurelia' place. Very nice café with good espresso just at the corner, 5 doors down.
