Christophe and his families place has an ideal location in the Latin quarter. There are a lot of cafes near by and its easy access to the metro and the bus line connecting you to Gare de Lyon. You will have plenty of privacy during your stay, as the family mainly keeps to themselves. You are able to come and go as you please without worrying about disturbing them. You do have share a bathroom and shower, but it never was an issue. All in all a good experience.
