Our time in Fred's apartment was very nice! Fred was very helpful with suggestions during our visit. My husband and I were traveling with my sixteen year old daughter, and the extra bed was comfortable for her, as was our bed at the end of long days touring the sites. The bathroom is modern and very nice! The metro station is very conveniently located to the flat. The area below the flat has lots of restaurants (Chez Justine became our favorite) and the bakery just below was also nice. Several grocery stores close, but the Menop was worth the few extra steps for larger selection.
The flat is safe on the second level with two security doors. The neighborhood was bustling but the flat is usually quiet. There is some music noise on the weekend nights, but nothing out of control, and honestly I think if you are staying in the city, inescapable to an extent.
Never having been to Paris, I was worried using Airbnb and picking a place randomly. The area turned out to be very safe and commutable to all the sights and shopping.
Fred responded to every question I had promptly and was flexible with our checkin and checkout. The flat was clean and had an espresso maker and everything we needed.
Thank you, Fred!! Your city is beautiful!
