We actually never got a chance to meet Yannik, but we did meet her husband, Gerald who was very helpful to us. Gerald could speak a little english and I could speak a little French so we could communicate minimally. He took the time to take us to a grocery store close to his house when we wanted some fresh fruit. The room is in the attic, so the ceiling is short so there were not many places where you can stand up strait. The bed was spacious, maybe a queen size. They provided towels, a bathroom downstairs, and water/tea. It was probably about a mile walk from nice restaurants and some attractions like the Sacre Cour. The street the apartment was on was a bit sketchy, but once you walk a block you are away from that. Overall the price was great, it was fairly well located, and the host was quite helpful.
