I didn't get to meet Yannick. Gerard served as my host for the two days I was there. The apartment is in a so-so neighborhood but once you are inside it has a charm about it. The room is upstairs and you share the bathroom with the rest of the house (downstairs) It is in the attic so it might be challenging for a tall person - I'm short so for me it was fine. Gerard was very pleasant and charming and even attempted to make breakfast for me but I overslept and missed it. They are very gracious hosts.
