Emmanuel was an amazing host. I had trouble accessing his move in directions and when he didn’t hear from me he tried different methods of communication . It was so reassuring to know he would do what ever he needed to make sure we got into his place. His friend met us and made sure we were settled. The location was amazing, close to several metro lines and a vibrant shopping/food district, also in easy walking distance to the river. You have to be careful in the tub/shower. There is no curtain so if you aren’t, you’ll get things pretty wet. Also, the five floors of stairs are a climb in an uneven stepped, narrow stairwell. If you’re in shape and traveling light, it’s not a problem. It’s not for everyone but I’d be happy to stay here again, especially knowing how helpful Emmanuel is.
