Fred is both a gracious and attentive host. She was always available and helped me as needed. Her place is warm and cozy with a great view from the balcony. Ideally her place is for the solo traveler or a couple. The decor is quite chic and plenty of hot water. There is also a kitchen and small refrigerator should you like to practice your culinary arts. A grocery shop, literally across the street provides supplies for your travels. The Metro station and RER C are nearby. If you miss home, a Starbucks is a few blocks away. You are literally in the steps of the Effiel tower, so it makes it hard to get lost as you explore Paris. She also provides a small washer for your clothes. I have no complaints. The area was safe and the building was secure. I felt totally at ease walking home at night. It literally felt like a home in Paris. I would recommend Fred's place for it's location and ease of communication for all issues.
