Emmanuel's flat was a perfect little pad for exploring Paris. It's compact but that doesn't really matter if you only need it for sleeping & it's clean & nicely decorated. the neighborhood was nice & felt less touristy than other places nearby but still near enough to walk to sites & it had its own buzz about it. The building was bit noisy, you could here people bashing about late at night & early in the morning, also the other flats' plumbing shoots through loudly but it didn't stop us for being able to sleep. Emmanuel was an attentive host - thank you.
