Frederic was a fantastic host. He was kind enough to meet us at the apartment upon our arrival, and quickly oriented us to it. He left an instruction book with important information about the apartment as well as very helpful recommendations for local markets, restaurants, and public transportation. He also left maps and guidebooks for our use. He has an extensive collection of art books to help you appreciate all that the local museums contain. His apartment is located in an area that makes it extremely convenient to public transportation so we could maximize our time visiting all the sites in Paris we wanted to see. The neighborhood is full of shops, cafes, wine shops, and restaurants as well as a few grocery stores so you didn't have to go far whether you wanted to go out or stay in for a meal. The kitchen is very well appointed. We were able to handle comfortably some extremely hot weather (40C) in Paris while visiting with fans he provided and window shades. The apartment had plenty of room for 3 of us to relax and recharge after long days exploring Paris. We would definitely stay here again.
