Really enjoyed the maisonette - my 20 year old daughter and I spent six nights there. The maisonette was very cozy (it poured rain during a substantial amount of our visit so it was nice to have a warm retreat). One of the most positive aspects of having Dominique as a host is the detailed information she sends in advance regarding places to visit nearby during the stay - the local market, for eg., and her favourite restaurants. Loved the area - the maisonette is right on the metro line with easy access to the main tourist attractions, yet removed enough from the "hard core" tourist area that you don't feel constantly in the midst of the tourist crush which is quite overwhelming in Paris. I'd definitely stay here again on a return visit.
