Frédéric's apartment is Le vrais Français. The location is truly central meaning whether you are visiting paris for a short or long period it will likely be conveniently located to many places you would like to visit on rive droite (by foot, metro or taxi) or rive gauche since you cross the river very near by the apartment and you are on the opposite side of the river within minutes. It's my first time staying in the 1er arrondissement and it will be my new address each time I visit for work or pleasure. Entering and exiting the apartment was always easy. The apartment is quiet and the decor is lovely, very inviting. All of the appliances function well. It was freezing in Paris this week and the heaters in the apartment were perfect. It's even a lovely space to share a glass of wine or dinner with a friend or colleague if you feel like staying in. I highly recommend Frédéric as a host and I look forward to staying at his apartment each time I'm in Paris.
