Christian's place is well positioned in a nice quiet corner of Paris , very practically located close to both train and metro lines. Christian is really a great host and provides everything you would need, and is very forthcoming. For a family to stay a few days it is probably very good fit. However in our case, going there with co workers for a conference it was not a perfect match, lack of doors between the rooms, thin walls with some noise from neighbors and hallway, and extra beds with very thin mattresses made it hard to get a good night sleep. But if you don't go to Paris to mainly sleep, I'll repeat that I think you can have a good stay here, with good value for money.
