I never got to meet Emmanuel, but our communication regarding my stay went smooth and Emmanuel responded promptly to any queries I had during my stay.

The apartment is clean (I liked the interior very much - simple and uncomplicated) and is very close to the center of Paris (within easy walking distance and a taxi to Les Marais/ Hotel De Ville was €12).

The neighborhood has all the conveniences one needs - Carrefour supermarket, boulangeries, a few bars and even a florist.

Certainly value for money.
