Emmanuel's place is a great little crash pad in an exciting, alternative neighborhood of Paris.
Close to many boutiques, restaurants and public transport, the apartment is never more than a few minutes' walk to something exciting.
As for the apartment itself, it's a typical Parisian family flat.
For future travelers I would keep in mind the following: the apartment is only on the first floor, but there's no lift; the apartment has double glazed windows, but is on a busy boulevard, so not ideal for light sleepers; it's a smoking apartment, so perhaps bothersome for those who are sensitive; while certainly in a central and lovely neighborhood, it's not in the dead center of Paris, so maybe not a good choice for those on a tight timeframe.
However, if you're a young couple or family who's even a little familiar with the city, a better place for the price would be hard to find.
Emmanuel himself was very communicative and accommodating despite being on vacation, and the internet is fiber optic.
Thanks again to Emmanuel for his apartment which served us very well!
