Staying with Fred was awesome!! I absolutely loved cuddling with Youpie the cat, too. The location cannot be beat!! Right in the city, so close to everything. I didn't take the Metro once, you can walk everywhere. This is a great place to stay for low-key travelers who are okay with a shared space and who aren't super high maintenance. It's a big bed, comfortable, and a big room as well. It's downtown Paris, so the bathroom is small, but you're not there for that. You'll choose Fred's place because you want to be in the center of it all! He also took me on a nice walk to the Highline and Parc de Vincennes. Highly recommend!! Thanks, Fred and Youpie!
