Gary was out of town when we arrived; he left the keys and a complete explanation of how things worked--arrival was totally smooth. He responded immediately to any questions we emailed him and we met him on our last day--he held our bags in his house because our flights were after checkout time.
Neighborhood lovely to walk around in, tons of restaurants a few blocks away, bus to city center 1 block away, metro about 8 minute walk: perfect location! Plus, the exhaust in the bathroom was the best I ever encountered!
Gary's place is a total recommend--I want to stay in his place in Paris now :)
