I definitely recommend Mickaël's place. It is a cozy apartment in a peaceful area in Gaia where you can watch the river and hear the seagulls. This is great if you want to walk to the ocean and around the city. Mickaël and his father have done nice work with the renovation. The only downsides are that the supermarket is a bit far and there's a lot of stairs outside, you can't come by taxi next to the house. There was no heating in the downstairs bedroom but Mickaël is probably changing that. The shower was a little difficult at times. But it was still a great experience.
