Fred is so helpful and accommodating. He lives below the apartment so this helps with checking in and out. He showed us around and made sure we knew how everything worked. We loved our time here. It was wonderful opening the windows and hearing people enjoying life (a little bit of music/singing because it was a beautiful Saturday!) We also enjoyed Fred’s family clothes drying outside below our windows on their balcony, so European and charming. We loved it!
Some observations/things to keep in mind: w.c. in a separate area from the rest of the bathroom/sink, though the kitchen. Just something to keep in mind if you need to go a lot in the middle of the night you will have to leave sleeping area. Living area has no curtains so if that bothers you at night. I thought I smelled cats (probably from somewhere in the building) most of our time there, so once again if you think that would bother you. Kitchen has everything you need, very workable space. It is as stated up among the rooftops so small elevator and climb. Just know what you are getting into and you will be fine. Really a charming place to stay. Great neighborhood, close to so many things and really made us feel like we were part of every day life in Paris.
