Fred was a wonderful host. He met me upon arrival and took me on a wonderful three hour walk through Paris.
His street is one of the coolest in Paris. Not touristy at all, and filled with really interesting small shops in studios including a tap dance school right next-door.
Fred‘s apartment is tiny and there is only visual privacy. As there is no door between his side and the guest’s side of the apartment, with only a curtain where a door would normally be, sounds made in one room can be heard in the other. So I could hear Fred snoring and he reported the same with me. To go to the bathroom you need to walk through Fred’s space. He sleeps just metres from the bathroom door.
