Fred was an excellent host. Even before arriving to Paris, he had already provided me with instructions on how to get to the place in the metro. A very friendly and helpful guy, who kept the room clean and tidy, and showed me around the local Oberkampf neighborhood and its great bars and cafes. The place itself is small but very cozy, I would stay here again. The only downside is that the studio is at the top floor (6th floor) with no elevator, but if you don't mind than it's perfect, and in an excellent location.
