My parents and I stayed in Emmanuel's apartment for a little over a week. This was our first airbnb experience and we could not ask for a kinder or more attentive host. Emmanuel really made an extra effort to make us feel welcome. He arranged for someone to come and assist my parents and me to carry our luggage up the five flights of stairs. He gave us personalized recommendations of places to eat and things to do. Everything you need is already in the apartment, including a bottle of wine:) Yes, you will be surprised the first time you walk up the uneven, narrow stairs to the fifth floor but I appreciated the exercise and it added to the charm of the apartment. My favorite part of our stay was being able to walk right out onto rue Montorgueil and have all the delicous bakeries, cafes, restaurants, cheeseshops, fruits and vegetables markets, and supermarkets right there in front of you. Lots of sights are within walking distance which made it easier and more pleasant to see lots of things when you have limited time. If I come back to Paris, I would definitely stay here again.
