Overall this was a good choice for us. The location was very near a metro station, and quite walkable to the Louvre and surrounding sites. There is a supermarket very nearby, and a quaint pedestrian street with shops and cafe's. We never met Arno, but Arnaud(son?) met up with us upon arrival. He gave a us a cursory introduction to everything and then there was no more contact during our stay. The house is much as described in the photos, although a bit more worn than the photos would allow you to be aware of. The stairs are very steep and windy, and a few member of our 50+ something group did slip down steps at times when going to the bathroom in the middle of the night :) The bed in the downstairs bedroom was really a sofabed and felt to be lower on the foot end. The apartment had very good WiFi signal available to guests. The washer and dryer were outside in the small courtyard in a locked room. There are others that use it, so it was not always available for our use exclusively. This was our first Airbnb experience, so I really can't make a good comparison to other Airbnb situations, but it served our group of 4 fine.
