Kareem's place on the Canal St. Martin is exactly as advertised. Stylish and comfortable! It is in a fun location, with views of the canal and the bustling cafe scene. It was a tad noisy when the windows were open, but with the double-paned windows closed, the noise was not a problem. Kareem was an excellent host and took care of any small issues. We would definitely return to Kareem's studio apartment when in Paris.
