Due to travel arrangements, Fred and I didn't have the chance to meet in person, but he was still a great host- quick and helpful with communication via email, check-in/out was easy, and his recommendations for cafes/restos in the area were spot on! The apartment itself is a bit small and basic, but has a comfy bed and everything you need. The location was perfect- easy to get to on a number of train lines, near the nightlife and shopping area of Bastille with great little places everywhere, and the apartment is off of the street with a courtyard, so it was quiet and peaceful at home. Definitely a great little budget spot in Paris!
Thanks Fred!
