Fred's apartment is in a great location: within walking distance to the lovely Marais area and very close to four metro stations. The road itself has some lovely eateries, so we chose to eat in the area most evenings. (On the topic of eating, note that the kitchen is tiny, and the cooker (in a drawer) only has one hob, so you can only cook one pot of something at a time, in a very confined space.) The apartment, although very small, is clean and functional and was enough for us as we spent much of our time out and about. The double bed is very comfortable, and so is the fold-out sofa. We all slept well! Also note that this is Fred's home, so there is limited space for your belongings in cupboards and the fridge. We didn't get to meet Fred but communication was very smooth, and his directions and instructions re the flat very clear. Thanks, Fred : )
