Emmanuel's place is lovely. The basement is comfortable. I loved the private entrance to the yard & house. Be sure to enter the correct fence/yard (neighbor's yard/fence looks similar). Push the door on the fence inward away from you when you enter. The locked keypad in which you have to enter the combination code was at the bottom of the iron stairs outside in the back of the house right before the iron-framed door. Be sure to turn the key all the way around at least once (maybe two or three times) to unlock it (same to lock the door but turn the key in the opposite direction. It may be very warm in your room. Emmanuelle (host) is very willing to help instruct you as to how to lower the temperature.
Otherwise, Emmanuelle & his partner (Kris) were lovely. I met then in person by accident. They are an attractive, young couple from Europe who are very kind. I hope you get to meet them in person.
The area seemed safe & was walkable (lots of buses in the area). Good value for the room, too! :)
