Loved Emmanuel's apartment and the neighborhood. It is truly a fantastic location in a wonderful city. I found the five floors of well lit, open stairs no problem to go up and down and you are treated with a wonderful view for your effort. As a solo traveler I found it had everything I needed. I highly recommend this apartment and the neighborhood, which has just about the perfect balance of activity, yet rather quiet mornings and later evening. I hope to stay in Emmanuel's place again.
