I spent three months with a friend at Emmanuel's place and enjoyed it a lot!! In the end, it really felt like home...
The flat is rather small (especially the bathroom, which is tiny), but clean and easy to handle. There is even enough space for two persons that do not know each other that well as the doors of the room downstairs can be completely closed (although walls are thin). We also could freely move the inventory and make ourselfs comfortable. The kitchen equipment is basic, but absolutely sufficient.
Emmanuel is a very kind person who we also met outside the apartment for several times (with a huge recommendation for the bar Etcetera closeby). The communication was always easy and Emmanuel very eager and helpful to support us where he could, for example with extra bins for the kitchen.
I will definitely miss the views from the kitchen window and the one of the room downstairs which were absolutely stunning (including parc de cinquantanaire, the Commission district and the church Saint Antoine in the back). I would say, the best time for a visit is spring and summer since, I reckon, the flat can get very cold in winter times...
All in all: definitely recommendable! Thanks a lot for everything!
