We were delighted with the good communication with Emmanuel, and he met us at the apartment, the evening when we arrived. The studio is not spacious, but was adequate for two of us, and well equipped, with a comfortable proper bed, and a good desk. We didn't cook (too many wonderful restaurants within walking distance) but almost everything that was needed was there, and we appreciated the dishwasher! The apartment is quiet, despite the lively restaurant and bar scene only 50 yards away. My favorite feature was going out early in the morning for a coffee and watching the merchants set up with fruits, vegetables, cheeses, fish, and bread for the day.
