I think it is possible for a discreet and careful guest to have a good experience visiting paris while using Fred's place as a cheap place to stay at night. That being said, this was the worst experience I have ever had with a host under any circumstances. I arrived at Fred's studio apartment tired from having spent the previous night in an airport. Things started well as Fred introduced himself and offered a place for me to sleep. After resting until the next day, I went out and began exploring paris when Fred started messaging me through airbnb. He exploded at me over the condition of my part of the room and over a window into the courtyard I left open when I left. He swore at me and then demanded that I come immediately to the studio. He wanted me to pack my things and leave and even called airbnb demanding the same thing. Thankfully airbnb representatives helped calm the situation down, but Fred still demanded that I leave. While airbnb was great in offering me support and giving a full refund, I am still bitter at Fred for kicking me out, particularly over a personal dispute that we could have resolved through personal communication. I apologized for my mistakes, and I honestly believe that we could have had a good experience if we had just talked about expectations, either then or the night before. Instead, Fred insisted that he could no long er trust me to keep his things safe and let me go with a cash refund. While we separated on civil terms and I ended up with a great visit to paris regardless, I strongly recommend certain travelers from staying with Fred. Being around Fred is like walking on eggshells, and while I believe he means well, he is not prepared to work with travelers who are in rough condition from their travels or who prefer a more relaxed approach to their living situation.
