This was our second stay in Frederic's studio and we enjoyed it just as much as the first time. Frederic is an exceptional host. We arrived, exhausted but excited, and found provisions (e.g., eggs and juice) in the refrigerator and all the staples in the cupboard: salt, pepper, olive oil, vinegar, and many things left behind by previous guests. The bathroom was also fully stocked with towels and toiletries. He even thoughtfully left a fan, which we unfortunately did not need because the weather was unseasonably cool for August. Instead, he supplied an umbrella when asked! These small touches mean so much! We paid a lot more for an apartment in Italy and were lucky to get silverware! So this was a welcome change!

Three of us stayed this time and I wondered if we would feel too crowded. In truth, we were hardly there, so we did not feel cramped at all! The new bed was very comfortable.

We highly recommend a stay at this apartment. Though it is not centrally located, it is very close to a good boulangerie, at least four markets (including a Geant Casino and a Naturalia), and two Metro stations. The apartment is very quiet and the neighborhood is safe. We took a cab from Orly and it was only approximately 25 euros.

Because we had stayed here before, we knew our way around and there was real comfort in that. I let my 15-year-old map out our Metro connections each day and she loved showing her father around.

Thank you so much, Frederic!
