Emmanuelle is an excellent host. She communicated quickly and answered a couple of inquiries we had. I traveled with a friend and we needed two separate sleeping arrangements. Emmanuelle checked to ensure the couch at the lower end of the loft was big enough for me (average height, 5ft 10in / 178 cm). She welcomed us to the place and walked us through it. Very easy going and friendly! The place worked out great. Right in the Bastille, walking distance to many cafes, restaurants, shops, etc. The nice courtyard is very quiet too! Easy to get around by metro from there. And walking distance to several attractions. Would definitely stay there again.
