Our family of 3 had a great time staying at Emmanuel's apartment. The location was absolutely perfect, so much in fact that we never took the metro. The pedestrian area where his apartment is located is so lively with restaurants, cafes, bakeries, and stores. We bought groceries across the street which was convenient and well-stocked. We tried three of the nearby bakeries (all great). Emmanuel also gave us some recommendations for places to eat.
As previous reviewers have said, the stairs were narrow and steep up to his apartment and it was a little difficult with a stroller all the time, but we loved having the convenient location.
Also thanks to Emmanuel for some drinks in the fridge for us. It was much appreciated. Looking forward to our next visit!
