It was my first time staying at an apartment via AirBnB and honestly, I was slightly nervous if it would be alright. But my nerves were unfounded on arrival to Fred's lovely and charming apartment along lively Rue Oberkampf. The apartment was exactly as it was in the pictures. Very Parisian, very comfortable and cosy with all the necessary amenities which made our 8 nights stay great. The apartment is a glimpse into Fred's very cool tastes in interior design and decorating. Fred's handbook was very useful in communicating to us how the apartment works and where things are as well as recommending things to do in the area. Rue Oberkampf is bustling with cafes, bars and restaurants but as Fred's apartment overlooks onto an internal courtyard, it is very private, secure and quiet. There is also a safe box in the apartment which is a nice touch. Lastly Fred was simply the perfect host to our Paris trip. There were two incidents that happened to us and Fred went all his way out to help us which I truly appreciated. This is something which made our stay memorable! Thank you Fred for this. He was easy to get in touch with and quick to respond back even when he was not in Paris over the weekend. Fred and his wonderful apartment is highly recommended! Merci Beaucoup Fred!
