Our host, Guillaume, were especially helpful and caring! He has a lovely apartment in a very quiet, pretty neighborhood, but accessible to the metro. The building and street have all the charm of Paris with every kind of store imaginable on the main street near by. Even though the kitchen is small and we had to improvise with the cooking utensils, I was able to make delicious meals and make ourselves at home. The rooms and beds are big and comfortable, but if you need a roomy bathroom, then you may have some difficulty. We managed fine, but there is minimal space for average sized people. Over all, I highly recommend staying here!!
