Aurélie’s flat was absolutely great - two cosy and nicely decorated rooms (a bedroom and a livingroom) and a little kitchen. We felt like at home there thoug Aurélie was not able to welcome us personally, but she arranged cleverly to pass us the keys. The place is very close to the metro station, to the French National Library, the BULAC library etc. With the nearby RER line, the center of the city can be easily reached. (However, the line is under reconstruction this summer, but the metro is also OK, though a bit slower.) And there are of course quite a lot of cafés and restaurants in the neighbourhood, including some apparently fashionable ones at the nearby bank of the river Seine.
