We consider the one-dimensional lattice model of interacting fermions with disorder studied previously by Oganesyan and Huse [Phys. Rev. B 75, 155111 (2007)]. To characterize a possible many-body localization transition as a function of the disorder strength $W$, we use an exact renormalization procedure in configuration space that generalizes the Aoki real-space RG procedure for Anderson localization one-particle models [H. Aoki, J. Phys. C13, 3369 (1980)]. We focus on the statistical properties of the renormalized hopping $V_L$ between two configurations separated by a distance $L$ in configuration space (distance being defined as the minimal number of elementary moves to go from one configuration to the other). Our numerical results point towards the existence of a many-body localization transition at a finite disorder strength $W_c$. In the localized phase $W>W_c$, the typical renormalized hopping $V_L^{typ} \equiv e^{\bar{\ln V_L}}$ decays exponentially in $L$ as $ (\ln V_L^{typ}) \simeq - \frac{L}{\xi_{loc}}$ and the localization length diverges as $\xi_{loc}(W) \sim (W-W_c)^{-\nu_{loc}}$ with a critical exponent of order $\nu_{loc} \simeq 0.5$. In the delocalized phase $W
