Fantastic Fred, is the best host. His communication is fast, his recommendations on places to eat and things do spot on, and he is a wonderful person. And his home, is great too! In the heart of the 9th, a block from Rue des Martyrs, a 10 minute walk to Sacre-Coeur, easy access to Metro stops, walking distance to all the shopping around Place de l’Opera, it is very well located. His home itself is full of character, uniqueness, and being on the top floor with lots of windows very light and easy to stay inside if you wish. We cooked a lot, so being able to shop at the fresh fish, meat, fruit & veg markets on Martyrs was great. His kitchen is very easy to use, filled with great equipment, including his La Cornue cooking sensation which baked bread products with ease. If you want a place that makes you feel that you are surrounded by Paris, its lights, sounds, and action, then Fred’s is the place for you. Thank You Fred, from Mark & Cathy
