Emile was lovely and very communicative. We got delayed meeting with him due to the strikes and Emile reassured us that it wasn't a problem. Check-in was very easy, the apartment was spacious and there's a fantastic market just around the corner where you can get all sorts of produce during the stay. The apartment is about a 10 minute walk from the Metro line 1 (Gare de Lyon) and in a very nice neighbourhood.
The stairs are fine once you come prepared, it's a good workout but a no-go if you're in any way movement impaired (perfect for us though!).
Thanks Emile!
