Change the address of stay after receiving Schengen visa - A Woman Receiving Money from the Customer

I received a Schengen tourist visa through the embassy of France, in my itinerary I specified the hotel that I'll be staying in, now, my French friend offered me to stay at his place instead of the hotel.

I am wondering if I'll cancel my hotel reservation and stay at his place, is there a chance of getting into any kind of trouble at the border during entry for that?

My trip is only 4 days long.
