The place is exactly as shown in the pictures. Location is more convenient than I expected. EVERYTHING is close: grocery store, laundromat, train station to Eiffel Tower and all other historical sites. The place was also secure. It is in a quiet street but once you get to Rue du Commerce, you have endless choices of stores including some American ones like MAC, Gap, even a McDonalds that is more closer to the train station. There is even a place to do Zumba and workout at a sports store. Getting on the train to Eiffel Tower, Champs Elysee, even Versailles was ridiculously easy. UBER is faster but more expensive too. 7.30 Euro roundtrip to Versailles on the RER and 40 Euro one way on UBER. It's really up to you. Philippe was very accommodating. The only thing that kept me up and that is really not within the host's control was a neighbor who had a really loud party that kept me up until 6 AM. Other than that, the place was super clean, looked exactly like in the picture and the convenience and proximity will save you money.
