We stayed in the owner's house while he was getting ready to travel. Greeted us upon arrival (and we had a backup plan if we didn't intercept...great communications!). We stayed there for two days, didn't spend much time in the house. Location great if you need parking or plan on walking to Metro (we chose that route, didn't want to drive into Paris). Metro a bit of a hike (20 minutes) but we needed the exercise. Metro is easy, can take it to Versailles or into Paris (tourist stops like Eiffel Tower or Notre Dame) via one transfer to another line. Overall a great stay with a friendly owner at a reasonable rate. If you want 5 star hotel and all those accoutrements, this is not your place. If you'd like to find affordable, clean, friendly and flexible, with plenty of options, then this is highly recommended.
