Emmanuel was a great host. We arrived at almost midnight and he met us at the apartment and gave us a thorough tour and overview of the amenities. The listing and pictures accurately describe the flat and it is in a great, bustling, very Parisienne area. The apartment was well stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable visit. It was a treat waking up in the morning to the sound of rain on the roof and music from the street (not to mention the amazing smells of food from the nearby patisseries!). Emmanuel was very attentive and was quick to respond to any questions. As mentioned in other reviews there are many narrow, winding stairs. They added to the authentic experience for us but may be something to consider if you have any mobility issues or plan to bring large suitcases! Also, a bit of what seems like obvious advice in retrospect: look for the light switches - some are single buttons that bare a distinct resemblance to doorbells to our North American eyes - at each of the floors (especially if you are arriving after dark) we climbed the stairs with our flashlights the first time which made the experience just that much more interesting!
