Fred is a very genial host ... smart and funny and ready to help out with hints and information. The apartment is small but well-organised and adjoins a pleasant courtyard, and as it's on the inside of an apartment block it's very quiet, especially considering that this is in a pretty cool neighbourhood that's really buzzing, especially at night! An easy walk to the Metro, and quick access to a myriad of Parisian sights and delights. And Youpie the cat is a friendly bonus. Thanks to you both for a really pleasant stay.
