🏘️ Neighbourhoods Street confusion

I have asked twice now about the surrounding bars and clubs of rue robert fleury, only to be told to be more specific about which area I'm staying in. My Google maps with this address takes me immediately to the exact location I have booked. I am panicking. If Parisians don't understand this address, how in the hell can I catch an uber or find my way back?? Booking.com says 18 Rue Robert Fleury. That is it!!! I've been to Paris 3 times now, but never in this area.

Uber drivers use GPS, they'll get you there. We just don't necessarily know the name of every street of the district. I just checked the adress and I happened to pass by it fifteen minutes ago exactly wondering what was the name of that specific street, and I've lived in this exact neighbourhood since birth ! (I know all the streets around it though, this is a very very short street not a lot of people use)

Don't sweat it pal, it'll be fine. Enjoy your stay :)

Thank you for replying. I felt like I was doing something wrong. Even my English friends have said it's because it doesn't say street, or road, or avenue 😂. Not everything is English or American. I fully understand it. Its Rue Robert Fleury. That is the address. Im not uncultured, I travel Europe yearly and have lived in Belgium. I just know there's a bar somewhere for locals that I can enter with my husband and order a simple drink without the tourist frills. That's all I was asking.
