We enjoyed our week in Paris at Fred and Sab's lovely flat. The location is excellent as it is less than 1/2 block from the metro, walking distance to restaurants, next to a pharmacy and across the street from a grocery store. Fred and Sab were gracious hosts, helpful, flexible and even left a treat for us on the occasion of our daughter's birthday. The apartment is a small, compact, but extremely functional European flat on the second floor. There is a very small lift but expect to walk up and down the stairs as it will only fit two people max and only if you have no fear of enclosed spaces. We did not mind at all but something to keep in mind depending on your group. The beds were very comfortable and in cold winter days, the apartment was warm and cozy. There is only one bathroom but as the sink and shower are in separate areas, somehow we made it work for 4 women. The only downside is that this is the family's primary residence and they moved out for us to occupy the flat. As such every single closet, armoire, etc. was full and locked. They were nice enough to empty a very small area in one room to hang a couple of things but as we were there for a week, and there were four of us, it meant that we had to keep our clothes in our luggage and our stuff was everywhere. The pillows are also the large European kind and a bit hard. There is also some street noise but not us much as you would expect given it is on a boulevard. However, all in all, it was sufficient for our needs and it is obvious Fred and Sab take care in being great hosts. Thank you both for a lovely stay!
