Fred is awesome, when I needed some advice with route or metro he helped me, when I need returned to his apartment little bit late, it was no problem. He accepted my poor french, but trying speak with me in french (it was a great lesson of language for me). His cat is beautiful. His apartment is small but comfy with small yard. Its near the Bastille so its near to metro and centre of town. Its really good place where to start to exploring and visiting Paris. Hope one day I'm return back
