Emmanuelle's place is perfect. This was our first visit to Paris and it was the perfect location. We didn't know too much about the Arrondissements, where everything was, etc. We probably should have done more research but we really relied on everyone's previous reviews about the location. And the reviews were correct! If this is your first time in Paris, you cannot get a more central location. We walked EVERYWHERE and when we did go out to dinner a bit of a ways away, we took an Uber for about 14 Euro and walked back. We felt completely safe.
As for the apartment itself, it was very charming. We stayed as a couple and it was very romantic for us. Emmanuelle is awesome and very helpful. Being from America, we did not have phone access to France. We were able to call back home via Skype but could not call anywhere in France. We wanted to book a dinner and asked Emmanuelle if she could do that for us and she did it within minutes! It was awesome, especially because we don't speak much French and booking a French restaurant can be difficult.
We stayed for 8 days and it wasn't enough. If this is your first time in France, there is so much to see but Emmanuelle's apartment is close to everything. It felt as if everything was just a 20 minute walk away. Being right near the river, we had a chance to do what so many Parisians do, which is just go down the river, hang out, have a drink and some food. That's only a 3 minute walk away, if that.
All in all, this place was awesome. Emmanuelle was a great host and I couldn't recommend it more. If we go back as just a couple (we have kids), this is the first place I'd look to book!
