This is Ludovic's own apartment that he rented out while he had to cat-sit for a week. I don't think he had rented it out on AirBnB for a long time, since the last review before mine was from 2019, and so some of the "cleaner" pictures on the listing don't quite correspond to the current state of the apartment, which is a little more cluttered and more worn in. There are tons and tons of books in the apartment (many of an academic nature, including Ludovic's Ph.D. thesis), and the posters and other decorations are indicative of a lot of Ludovic's personality (a good hint of this vibe is the poster for the Pasolini movie Teorema that he leaves prominently displayed - there are lots of other decorations which fit that vibe). Ludovic was friendly and commutative, and if you want to get into the mind of a 30-something Parisian, typically French in its idiosyncrasy there-in, it's a decent place to do that. If you like a de-cluttered and less chaotic environment, not so much. I liked the place, and the area of Jaurès is pretty cool. There are plenty of metro lines, either from the Jaurès stop right outside the door, or the Stalingrad stop just a tiny walk away. It's a little outside the main city center, but since the metro is so cheap, Ludovic's place is very good for the price.
