Fred was an excellent host. I felt very welcome and comfortable the entire stay and have nothing but positive things to say about Fred, his home and of course his cute cat (who kept me company a few cold Paris nights). Fred definitely takes an interest in his guests and helps them along the way with whatever they need. Without even hesitating, Fred will offer you a cup of tea, the use of his computer if absolutely necessary and he even let me use his phone at times as my phone could only work on wifi. The location of Fred's flat is amazing. The Bastille neighbourhood is a perfect place for young visitors looking for fun and new restaurants, bars and shops. Unfortunately, one night I was pick-pocketed (my phone was stolen) in the city however, without Fred's outstanding help, I don't think I could have recovered so quickly. Fred took me to the police station and even helped me purchase a new phone. I was also present during Fred's birthday weekend and Fred invited me to his party. At his party I met his friends who were also very welcoming. Fred was an amazing host, I know where I will be staying next time I visit Paris. merci beaucoup Fred!
