The location is great! Right next to the Rambateau metro station and around the corner from the Centre Pompidou. It was very easy to get anywhere in Paris. It also has lots of good bistros and bars in the area.
Benedicte was a very nice, warm host who helped with any questions we had. She was very accomodating (and helped to make sure the bathroom scheduled worked with all 6 people in the house). She even gave us special tea when we were sick.
