Fred is a very nice host. He accommodated our every request even though some of them were quite last minute. As we arrived a bit earlier than expected, his asked his friend (who is very friendly too) to welcome us and take care of our luggages. When we arrived at his flat later the day, our luggages were already there and the place is as pretty as it looks from the photos. The flat is clean, comfy, modern and contains almost everything we needed. There are many restaurants nearby and a supermarket is just round the corner. The Parmentier metro station (line 3) connects to the centre (e.g. Opera, Harve Caumartin, Saint-Lazare) directly. It is also not far from Gare du Nord that it only took us about 10 min to travel by taxi. Thank you Fred for giving us a wonderful stay in Paris!
