We stayed for 4 nights in Fred's apartment. Close to Gare Du Nord - less than 5 mins walk. Ideal for those arriving by Eurostar. Communication with Fred was good. We didn't get to meet Fred but she has arranged her friend, Estelle to welcome us. Estelle was very friendly (funny too!) and helpful and answered all queries that we have. Fred also have the Paris maps and a guide book she made herself on restaurants close by. It's relatively easy to travel to the attractions since Gare Du Nord is like the interchange. We love the apartment. Spacious for 5 of us and it's very unique! There are lots of books and pictures on the wall and it creates a different feeling from the normal Airbnb we usually stay in. Separate shower and toilet. Heating is good. Bed is comfy. Overall the experience is awesome in her flat. The only downside is there is no elevator - 2 floors up. Nonetheless everything else is perfect for us! We enjoyed staying her flat! Would recommend for groups of 4-5 people.
