10 stars! Staying with Dom was really comfortable -- it felt like staying with a friend. We felt very much at home. Practicalities: he gave us detailed instructions for getting from the airport to his home, which was so helpful for people who didn't know Paris. It was also nice that his condo is close to a train stop that comes straight from de Gaulle airport. Once we got there, he had all kinds of information about the city, restaurant recommendations, maps for us, and insider information on getting around. Dom is also fluent in English. Location: His condo is close to a metro stop and in an interesting neighborhood with cafes, a cheese shop, bakeries, whatever you need. It was great staying with him and we'd definitely do so again.
