Duncan is a kind an genial host. He went out of his way, offered to book & down load passes to help skip the lines at attractions, accompanied us to the Metro, which is close by, explained the route connections & metro lines. The room is spacious by Paris standards, all amenities are as described.. Mini-market & any several nice local eating places close by that are not touristy. He confirmed our taxi reservation, and even loaded our luggage. We enjoyed our 5 day stay - Thanks Duncan.
