I had a very nice two-week stay at Emmanuel's. Most of all I liked that it felt like living on a covered balcony, because it had a tiled floor like a balcony, was small and compact yet airy, and the window takes up most of the wall, so when it's open it feels like being on a balcony. I loved the charm and character of the place, the clever and convenient way it was all arranged, and the neighborhood is great. You're a ways away from the tourist hordes, there's a good bakery that sells nice organic breads just around the corner, you can picnic or read at the Square du Temple, and most of the sights of the city are within walking distance, you have a plethora of metro stop options ... there's nothing not to love.
I really appreciated that it had a microwave too since I didn't want to spend a lot of time cooking. Emanuel could not have been more pleasant to communicate with, he was very kind and responsive, and with the concierge service for check in and check out, everything went very smoothly. The wifi worked great, shower had good water pressure. I was worried that it would get really hot at night with no air conditioning, but with the windows open the temperature cooled off nicely at night. (That said, the courtyard can get a little noisy at times with the window open, so if you are a light sleeper you might want to consider using ear plugs or a white noise app for sleeping.) But basically it is a great value and terrific option for a solo traveler!
