Frederic's listing was exactly what I would have expected from the photos and from his initial communications. He was unable to meet us directly at the listing due to other unforeseen travel issues of his own, but he made sure to have his housekeeping service meet us and provide us with a full overview of the home when we arrived and they gave us contact numbers just in case of unforeseen issues that could arise. None of which happened. We loved the location with many nearby bakeries, restaurants, and grocery stores. We stayed for 5 nights, which were the first of a 12 night trip to Paris, Lyon and then England, and staying here was one of the highlights of the trip. I have never been overseas before, and honestly had no interest in a trip overseas, but my wife always has had intentions of coming overseas, thus, when my son ended up studying abroad from the United States and picked France, we decided to come visit him at the end of his study abroad to pick him up and travel to England to add to his first overseas experience. After staying at Frederic's, I must say that I really enjoyed the experience slightly to my surprise, and felt that his home provided us with the perfect feeling of living in France and the opportunity to complete a significant amount of sightseeing with it's convenient location. Buses and subway stops are very nearby making it easy to get around. Frederic and I spoke at length in one conversation and he speaks English very well having studied in the States at one time. I would highly recommend him as a host, and this listing for anyone considering this as a choice.
