My extended family (5 adults, 4 children) stayed at Emmanuel's place and had a good time. The property is kind of old, with narrow staircases, but this was clear to us ahead of time from the pictures. Overall we were comfortable and it was great to have a place to hang out, cook food, and watch DVDs in the evening after a day of seeing the sights. The host was friendly and accommodating.
Unfortunately we arrived during a transit strike, which made getting around the city a nightmare (for everyone, not just us). But I think during normal times this property is well-connected.
