Emmanuel is a great host, and his apartment is well-decorated and in an amazing location! We felt safe in his apartment, and had everything we needed, though the furnishings and space could use a little TLC. One thing to note is that this apartment is dark -- even in full daylight, with all of the lamps on its not as bright as the photos in the listing. It was also frustrating that there is no ventilation, or windows that open. There's a general moisture in the air and mildew-y smell that would have been tolerable for a day or two but was too much after 6 days.
