I really enjoyed having Fred's place as a home base while I was in Paris in April. It was my first time visiting France (and Europe) and it was like staying with a friend. Fred is super friendly and welcoming and as I was traveling by myself, it helped me not feel quite as lonely! Youpi the cat helps, too. The location must be one of the best in Paris, being just a short walk from bustling cafes and nightlife. Nights are quiet and restful. Fred is very courteous and easy-going and is just as happy to have a beer and a conversation as he is to leave you to your own activities. Thank you Fred!
