Fabulous flat, superbly located - everything on hand in Rue Montegueil and an easy walk to everything (except the Eiffel tower at 4+ kms!). Didn't meet Emmanuel, but Dior gave us a great intro to the flat. If coming from Chatelet les Halles (one stop on the RER from Gare du Nord) look for the exit Pte Rambateau - with all the development going on there it is the easiest way out. Was just the base we wanted and will certainly use again. Thoroughly recommend.
