We had a very nice time at Emanuel's loft. Right from the start Emanuel was quick, thorough and courteous in correspondence.
We didn't get the chance to meet, but were welcomed by his charming sister who gave us very helpful advice.
The apartment itself is one the best we've ever stayed at, but I feel the need to mention that it's situated over a rather busy bus station, so during the day the street can become a bit polluted (we like to keep windows open, so this was bit of a problem - but if you're a less sensitive soul or don't mind using AC with windows shut, you'll be fine). Otherwise, a perfect stay.
