Pierre-Marie's place is a great option for those who wish to experience Paris with its great location. It's in the heart of Saint Germain des Pres and very close to public transport, both bus and metro. It's surrounded by great cafés, restaurants, shops, and so on. I did not meet Pierre-Marie in person due to his travel but our communication was great. His colleague and friend Monika made a great host on his behalf. She helped me a lot during my stay. I strongly recommend Pierre-Marie's "cottage", rustic but with stylishly industrial twist, for travellers who want to be in the centre but in demand of privacy.
