Choosing Emmanuelle's apartment was the biggest luck of my three weeks trip to Paris.
I came to Paris to work on a short term project, and I needed a friendly working environment to work with my computer. The apartment was perfect for this.
The place is designed very smartly and unique. Every corner is carefully planned so you have plenty of space for work (huge desk and fast internet connection), eating (kitchen fully equipped and big eating table with chairs), relax (big sofa with a table) and sleep - I decided to sleep on the futon upstairs, and it was very comfortable for me. The greatest thing about the apartment is the open space you fill inside - it's an inspiring space for someone that has to spend a lot of time indoors, and you don't feel claustrophobic or tired of it. The big french window gives you a beautiful view for a cute yard full of plants, and you can open it fully to enjoy fresh air and even more sunlight. The most amazing is how quiet is this apartment. Because of the closed backyard, you are completely detached from the street, and when you go to sleep, you feel like in the calm, quiet countryside, though being in the heart of Paris.
Emmanuelle is one of the greatest hosts I have ever had. She was very friendly and helpful. She takes care of everything and makes sure that you have the best conditions to feel like at home. At the end of my stay, I had to send two huge boxes by UPS, and she took care of it, making sure that a courier picks it up when I was going away already. Choosing Emmanuelle's apartment made my Paris work trip experience enjoyable and comfortable.
I truly recommend it, and I would choose it again for my next visit to Paris.
