I stayed with my brother at Gildas' house in April this year (2014) and thoroughly enjoyed it. Gildas was warm and welcoming and had a lovely appartment. He let us use the kitchen and washing machine freely and gave us a sumptous breakfast. The room was "comfy" certainly. Gildas even went out of his way to help us purchase tickets for going to Versailles which, by the way, is only about 45min from his house by tram followed by train. We also walked to the Eiffel tower (about 25 min). We also left our luggage at his house since we would return to Paris for our flight after a short trip and he was more than nice about it. I would thoroughly recommend this apartment to anyone travelling to Paris.
