Fred was a fantastic host, he communicated with us throughout our stay to ensure we were doing well. His home is beautiful, exactly as the pictures show and very close to the metro which made going to all the touristy stuff easy and quick . Our first day we went to Rue de Martyrs street market, which is only a few blocks away and picked up a few bottles of wine and some cheese, and sat on the balcony enjoying the view and great weather. I can't say enough good things about Fred and his apartment, would absolutely stay again.
