    shouldn't this be "j'ai été"?

    I believe you are right and I was wrong. But I'm not sure about the difference between "J'ai été" and "Je suis rentré".

    I thought that "avoir" doesn't go with "être" and with various verbs of motion or direction.

    For instance, you say:
    Je suis rentré à la maison
    rather than: J'ai rentré à la maison.

    After re-checking, I found out that it's "j'ai été" - but I'm still not sure about the other forms which go with verbe être in the past.
