Emmanuel's apartment is great. It's everything I was hoping for. The location is excellent--close to a main metro station, restaurants and bistros, in a neighborhood that's safe at night. The apartment is small and cozy and the building charming. The kitchen was wonderful to cook my breakfasts in. The shower is roomy and the tiling all looks new. The price was fabulous. Last but not least, Emmanuel is an engaging host. Rent this apartment !
